Fennec is better Firefox anyway. Why can't you use it? Firefox for Android has a lot of proprietary components

What's different about Fennec on F-Droid? That's what I use.

fmstrat OP ,

You know, it used to be different architecture, but it looks like it may he the same now.

piracysails ,

I think is is basically the same thing without telemetry and proprietary blobs.

Y'all living on the wild side.

fmstrat OP ,

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 FDroid has been known to host out of date packages forever, causing security concerns.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.

The Play Store is pretty good with keeping things up to date.

I use FFUpdater, but I've been planning to switch to obtainium, so I'm definitely following this.

fmstrat OP ,

Is there a non-nightly version? I only use nightly on my tablet for the new "desktop tabs" feature. And how would I use this in Obtainium?

Is the latest release. As for how to use it in obtainium, I don't know sorry, as I don't use it.

Are you sure the GitHub releases aren't being updated anymore? When I checked here not too long ago, they were still being updated. I know they said they changed the positaries, but I don't know how long ago that was. But I know for a fact that I was able to pull Firefox focus version 122 off of GitHub.

fmstrat OP ,

Yea, 125.3 on GH, 126 on Play Store.

shortwavesurfer ,

Fennec 127 on fdroid. Now that I think about it, I believe I did see a post the other day about Mozilla completing a move to some other system. Let me see if I can find it.

Edit: Here it is, though I'm not sure if this will help at all. But it may at least explain something.

fmstrat OP ,

Oh yea I forgot about them announcing that. I will look into it.

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

fmstrat OP ,

Thanks for the tip.

JetpackJackson ,

No problem! I'm glad it was helpful

GlenRambo ,

Mull is the way.
