[SOLVED] Firefox update to 85.0.2

SimonDevine · 02-10-2021, 09:02 AM

Got the update notification of an available Firefox update.

Logged out and logged back in as root to perform update. Ran just fine and rebooted to ensure latest update is fully applied.

On reboot, the first disk reported a corrupted lilo.

I have two hd's and 'sdb' also has the boot into lilo available. Booted into Slackware on 'sda' from sdb and all was fine.

Ran lilo to ensure sda had a valid boot and the problem was fixed.

As the only activity was the Firefox 85.0.2 update I can only assume the corruption originated there.

As there are 2 HD's I always ensure that both 'sda' AND 'sdb' can boot my various linux distros.

Just a heads up that there may be issues with the latest Firefox update to 85.0.2,

It might just be my machine or it could be something to be aware of.

Hi
Today compiled firefox 85.0.2
I did not notice any problems.
If you want here's the slackware-current package.

No offense, but I don't think (at least it's my hope) that anyone will want to download binaries from MEGA, posted by someone whose reputation is unknown to all of us in the forum...

My current slackbuild script no longer works for 85+ - compile fails at:

Anyone have adjustments to slackbuild or patches to assist with this release? My most recent successful build is 84.0.2 - the last slackbuild patch at that time was:

# https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1640982
sed -i "s|-Clto$||" config/makefiles/rust.mk

... for a rust-related issue.

(my system is -current 64bit updated to just before the recent mega rebuild)

Thanks in advance.
