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 :)

/edit: (2026-05-07): The upstream signing sub-key was rotated, and the .tar.xz tarballs will now be signed with a new subkey. The main key id (0x662E3CDD6FE329002D0CA5BB40339DD82B12EF16) remains unchanged though, so should you get an error during signature verification about a missing (sub)key, all that's required would be to refresh the key(s) via gpg --refresh-keys 662E3CDD6FE329002D0CA5BB40339DD82B12EF16.

@ParadiseofMagic That's cool, but the maintainer of this package has been afk for a while now. It's annoying to me to have to see that this package was flagged out of date by some dumbass and the maintainer isn't clearing the flag. This has been happening for about a week now.

Furthermore, I'm starting to suspect that librewolf is actually a trash, insecure fork. At the time of this writing it's now been about 9 days since firefox 145 came out. That release contains a number of security fixes. I haven't looked into the implications of these security issues, but it's a standard and super vital practice to stay up-to-date with browser updates for the sake of security.

Given that librewolf is not even recommended by https://www.privacyguides.org/en/desktop-browsers/, I suspect that we're a like minded group of dummies who are using an inferior and insecure fork. I'm posting this here in the hopes that somebody will prove me wrong.

@lone-cloud It is possible to unflag a package.

There is no 145... yet: https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/bsys6/-/releases @beluga2 is full of shit. He probably thought that librewolf perfectly follows firefox releases. Is there no way for the maintainer to clear the out-of-date flag?

ParadiseofMagic commented on 2025-11-16 14:38 (UTC)

@beluga2 you've marked this out of date with no link and when I look on Librewolf's Codeberg, the version you listed in the flag doesn't seem to exist. Can you please provide a link of where you found 145.0?

Oh, I see. Indeed, the 8A74EAAF89C17944 is a subkey buried under https://rpm.librewolf.net/pubkey.gpg That's why I did not se any reference to it. Thank you for the verification. I too confirm key 8A74EAAF89C17944 is valid.

ZLima12 commented on 2025-11-03 08:51 (UTC)

Yes, 8A74EAAF89C17944 is a subkey of 662E3CDD6FE329002D0CA5BB40339DD82B12EF16 which does indeed appear to be the authentic key: https://codeberg.org/librewolf/issues/issues/2337

lsf commented on 2025-11-03 08:47 (UTC)

@sipak: 8A74EAAF89C17944 is the signing subkey of the key (662E3CDD6FE329002D0CA5BB40339DD82B12EF16) that's in the PKGBUILD. The output showing unknown public key 8A74EAAF89C17944 if it's missing is a bit unhelpful/confusing though, understandably.

If you have the key imported, you can check it via gpg --keyid-format long --list-keys 8A74EAAF89C17944, for example, or by looking at the details of the key at https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?search=8A74EAAF89C17944&fingerprint=on&op=index .

sipak commented on 2025-11-03 08:00 (UTC)

I am not sure that 8A74EAAF89C17944 is a valid key. Anybody can upload keys to ubuntu key server and claim to be somebody else.

I cannot find any reference to this key in any of the official librewolf sites. Example: https://codeberg.org/librewolf/arch

I very much appreciate you coming back and apologizing. (fwiw: my reply, then, was also not as "neutrally phrased" as it maybe should've been) It's understandable, I guess, especially with an issue like this one that I should have spotted myself (usually, I watch/follow Arch upstreams's Firefox PKGBUILD changes; but, well: not always, as should now be obvious).

So: it was indeed useful; thanks :)

lone-cloud commented on 2025-10-06 23:07 (UTC)

Sorry for the heated words. I spent an hour testing and fixing the issue this morning and was not happy. Hope at least the fix was useful.
