upstream continues to replace the release versions despite (multiple) issues submitted that suggest this is improper.

While it's possible for this package to 'skip' shasums, I'm reluctant to do this for a web browser.

If you find this package suddenly has shasum mismatch errors, please visit
https://github.com/envolution/aur/issues/new?template=build_request.yml

and issue a build request for waterfox-bin

this package has been broken with ffmpeg for a while requiring me to use ffmpeg4.4 package in order for .mp4 videos to be playable in Waterfox. However after a while of using the browser this breaks requiring me to restart the browser to fix the videos. I am on ffmpeg 8.0 and waterfox 6.6.4

@nixit as far as I can tell it's not been reported yet. I was able to reproduce, so I created an issue report at https://github.com/BrowserWorks/waterfox/issues/3876

@envolution, more information on the bookmarks not launching. everything appears to work when the bookmarks toolbar is on the top. however, when I move it to the bottom, that's when I can no longer open up a bookmark by clicking on it.

@envolution, exporting bookmarks, removing ~/.waterfox and restarting took care of the bookmarks not opening. THANX!

I also received the invalid sha512sum message only on 1 of my 2 systems during the waterfox update. I will follow the link you posted.

@nixit I've not been able to reproduce your issue nor can I find it in https://github.com/BrowserWorks/waterfox/issues - It's very possible that somehow your profile has become inconsistent. Considering it is (at least for me) not happening with a fresh profile, you could try the following:

CTRL+SHIFT+O, ALT+I+B - Save > ~/waterfox-bookmarks.json backing up your profile ie. close waterfox, mv ~/.waterfox ~/.waterfox-backup Open waterfox -> CTRL+SHIFT+O, ALT+I+R - Load > ~/waterfox-bookmarks.json

Then try again

after one of the recent waterfox updates, I can no longer click on a bookmark to have it open, even middle mouse click, which used to open in a new tab doesn't work. the only way to open a bookmark is rightclick/open in new tab.

this is happening on 2 different systems.

has anyone else noticed this?

Hi :) sha512sums of waterfox-6.6.2.tar.bz2 is wrong. Successfully installed it by manually update it.
