back again with another major release (and yes I only post for major releases but every minor firefox release equals to a new librewolf release). osx is out, linux and windows are getting worked on, you can expect them soon.

main changes:

  • based on firefox v95.
    • there’s an issue (see my comment and the firefox ticket) with the build process that does not allow to successfully compile with the new wasm sandboxing, hence we had to use the “old sandboxing” for now. as soon as an upstream fix is delivered or we find a workaround we will immediately release a new update. edit: FIXED.
  • new uBO version.
  • updated settings. for more details see the changelog and the reference issues linked in it, but in short:
    • larger but still rfp compliant window size, to improve usability.
    • webrtc is no longer disabled (but the private IP is still protected so no worries), which should mean less breakage by default.
    • the geo API is no longer disabled as it can be fingerprinted and location aware browsing is behind a per-site and per-session prompt.
    • in this release you shouldn’t experience logouts when allowing exceptions.
    • rfp dark mode override was deprecated.
    • we are moving towards CRL finally.

there were also some updates in the addons section of the website, and I will update the faq as soon as I can.

if you want to contribute we are working on a librewolf-specific setting page, more details have been shared in the matrix room.

peace 🐠

    yup, manually set themes will stick as long as the cookies are not cleared. also a fellow RFP user is always a great news.
