Can I get more info on why these are showing up? I’ve never seen such a thing on F-Droid before.

    Theyre the distributor, the dont fix apps and its not their job to do so. Getting the same app from a different source wont change anything

      huh? no one’s asking them to fix firefox, we’re asking that they just ship the latest version.

      the warning states that several vulnerabilities have been fixed since firefox version 130, f-droid’s latest version of the package is 129: that very much makes it sound like the problem is wholly caused by f-droid not making version 130 available.

        To ship it they have to work out how to build that version themselves from source though - that’s their whole thing. It’s not like a normal app store where they take pre-built binaries from the developer.

        Well ok if thats the case you are completely right, as long as there isnt some kind of issue and others have already updated the package pushing security fixes asap is indeod important

        Huh to your huh? What’s significant about the latest version, other than that it includes requested fixes? This is 12 of one, a dozen of the other.
