The Firefox for Android GitHub releases aren’t being updated anymore, and is versions behind the Play Store now.
FDroid Fennec isn’t fully the same app, and FDroid has it’s own set of delays.
Is there a location where the latest version can be pulled/tracked with Obtainium?
Fennec is better Firefox anyway. Why can’t you use it? Firefox for Android has a lot of proprietary components
I’m afraid I don’t have any real solution, since I get Firefox from the play store, but its my secondary browser; I get Mull from Obtainium (kinda like a Librewolf for android), you might look into that? I know this is kind of not what you wanted to hear though and im sorry
Mull is the way.
Thanks for the tip.
No problem! I’m glad it was helpful
I use FFUpdater, but I’ve been planning to switch to obtainium, so I’m definitely following this.
Straight from Mozilla:
stable: https://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/fenix/releases/
nightly: https://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/fenix/nightly/
Y’all living on the wild side.
Not really. Safest place to get an app is from the Dev if you’re not using the play store. FDroid has been known to host out of date packages forever, causing security concerns.
Obtainium is pretty easy to use.
Obtainium fucking rules
The Play Store is pretty good with keeping things up to date.
What’s different about Fennec on F-Droid? That’s what I use.
You know, it used to be different architecture, but it looks like it may he the same now.
I think is is basically the same thing without telemetry and proprietary blobs.
