There seems to be a bug with Waterfox, I noticed that I couldn't sign in to my Firefox Sync account on my Mac. The latest build also includes some fixes for the stability, functionality and the security of the browser. A bug related to BootstrapLoader was preventing the installation of legacy add-ons such as TabMixPlus, this has been resolved. It fixes an issue that was introduced in G4.1.3 (also released last week). Waterfox was updated to version G4.1.3.1 a few days ago for Windows, macOS and Linux. This sounds similar to how Waterfox Classic, which was introduced as a separate branch last year, is being maintained. In other words, no new features will be added to G4. What does this mean for Waterfox G4?Īll remaining updates for Waterfox G4 will focus on security fixes and critical bug fixes only. Hopefully, we will see a beta version of the upcoming version soon. There is no word yet as to when Waterfox G5 will be released. Optionally, you may choose to disable automatic updates completely by switching to the following options: 'Never check for updates.' This is not recommended as you may not get security updates for the browser. Go to the Settings page's General Section, scroll down to Waterfox updates, and select the option that says 'Check for updates but let you choose to install them'. Users who prefer to remain on the old version will need to change an option to avoid the auto-update. The developer also mentioned that existing installations of the browser will be upgraded from G4 to G5 automatically when the update becomes available.

The next version will be called Waterfox G5. Waterfox G5 will be delivered as an auto-update The last version of ESR 91 will be available on August 22, after which ESR 102 will be the only version that will be maintained by the organization.
