LibreWolf @librewolf

#LibreWolf v147.0-1 is now available!

https://codeberg.org/librewolf/bsys6/releases/tag/147.0-1

https://librewolf.net/installation/

Notable Changes:

Thanks to our two new core contributors (<3) we've now fully moved our CI and main release artifacts to @Codeberg! (this might be relevant to check for any downstream packagers) and managed to tackle a whole bunch of other long-open issues!

[1/2]

LibreWolf Browser

A custom version of Firefox, focused on privacy, security and freedom.

Cookie monster!

@librewolf @Codeberg lots of corporate environments run 32bit applications on top of 64bit Windows for unknown reasons.

@librewolf ahh this is why when I tried to pull sources I got a 404. The one I found instead wasn’t the full tarball on codeberg. 🤔

To support Firefox' changes to (finally! ;) respect XDG directories, LibreWolf sticks to `~/.librewolf` if it already exists, for backward compatibility; but will use `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/librewolf` otherwise.

Unfortunately, we've also had do drop 32bit builds for Windows starting with this release.

See https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/147.0/releasenotes/ for upstream changes.

@librewolf I've been wondering, how does LibreWolf handle features locked behind a "progressive rollout" in Firefox? Are they enabled immediately?

@kianga they stay disabled automatically until either fully rolled out or if we decide to configure them to be enabled ahead of that.

@masukomi No idea! Maybe a lot, maybe none at all! :D

(We assume it'll be very, very few, if any. But we really don't know – we (intentionally ^^) do not really even _want_ to gather data on our users ^^)
