gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --search-keys 031F7104E932F7BD7416E7F6D2845E1305D6E801

/edit: starting with 112.0-1, the binaries are signed with the maintainers shared key, so gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --search-keys 662E3CDD6FE329002D0CA5BB40339DD82B12EF16 should do the trick instead. I've also signed the key with the previously used key, so you have at least some guarantee that it's not a malicious attack :)

Specifying the port # while importing the keys helped me:

gpg --keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com:443 --search-keys 662E3CDD6FE329002D0CA5BB40339DD82B12EF16

Today was my third attempt at installing the current version (130) of LibreWolf to my up-to-date Manjaro KDE system. Two issues:

  1. The built took ages, around 15 mins., and then
  2. it failed, closing the Konsole window w/out warning.

Has anyone here experienced the same issue?

EDIT 2024-09-15: Don’t bother, I installed the Flatpak version.

lsf commented on 2024-08-06 17:10 (UTC)

For quite some time now, the -bin version of the package has not been based on the Arch specific (source) PKGBUILD anymore, and thus does not include profiling anymore, for example, and probably some performance related build options.

So: It might be worth checking out the upstream repo(s) https://codeberg.org/librewolf/source and potentially open a PR (or an issue at https://codeberg.org/librewolf/issues/issues) regarding potential improvements on that front. Thanks!

@blutuna: Your results are even worse than mine: 30 % performance drop for LW compared to FF. Although they share the same source code. That is odd.

@karoyli... I get the following on my 5950, no tweaks to the installs... FF = 21.1 LW = 15.7 Floorp = 13.6 SRWare Iron = 20.6 Mullvad = 8.64

May be librewolf disable some runtime optimization for privacy reasons

Nice joke. But still, from my point of view librewolf should at least reach the same performance ratings as firefox.
