Mint warns of upcoming Firefox issue |
 |
Over the past week the tech media has been discussing Mozilla, the company's Firefox web browser, and the licensing terms for Firefox a lot. In particular, there has been a lot of discussion around Mozilla's new licensing terms which allow the company to use information entered into Firefox and Mozilla's retraction of the company's promise not to sell users' data. Meanwhile, another Firefox-related issue has largely flown under the radar and the Linux Mint February newsletter addresses the problem: "On March 14, 2025, a root certificate used by Firefox will expire.
When this happen, Firefox version 128 (and lower) will suffer significant issues related to: configuration; add-ons; signed content; DRM-protected media playback. To avoid these problems, make sure you're up to date in your Update Manager. Press Refresh and apply all updates.
This is important for security reasons, and in this case it's also important to avoid regressions. Firefox 135.0.1 is available on all supported Linux Mint releases. Firefox 135.0.1 was also sent as an emergency update to the following discontinued releases: Linux Mint 19.3, 19.2, 19.1 and 19; LMDE 5; LMDE 4." Users of other distributions should make sure their Firefox packages are up to date to avoid issues accessing content. |
