Hey Guys,
Today I received a Discover update notification. When I look inside I noticed that Firefox is being downgraded
Of course I can (and did) uncheck the box but I want to understand more about this little bug.
Any ideas on what I can do about it ?
Thanks in advance
There was a bug in Firefox 152.0.2. On my (non-Fedora) system the result was that if you closed Firefox then reopened it, the new instance of Firefox froze and rapidly swallowed up memory.
So it looks that version has been withdrawn from Flathub. When I did flatpak update from the command line I got the same downgrade.
See also this Mozilla bug ticket where the Mozilla dev says:
This is intentional, pending the 152.0.3 release, due to a regression in 152.0.2.
Hey man,
You’re right, today a received the 152.0.3 update and everything is ok with both Firefox and Discovery.
To me at least 152.0.2 was fine so this is why I didn’t immediately see this a “fix” and instead viewed this as a problem.
I think Flatpak/Discover should raise a warning about the reason of the downgrading because I’m sure this same question or a related one was made on others forum/places
Anyway, thanks a lot
