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?

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

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

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.

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.

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?
