🟩 changelog summary

Still no pref changes, but it's been a while :) A reminder to never wait on arkenfox to update Firefox.

This release is mostly about adding information about FPP since this is now live (for non-RFP users) - also see #1804 - so the sooner this info is there, the better

115.1

8 months ago

The .1 refers to arkenfox, and has nothing to do with Firefox's versioning. Point release to better align ESR115 users' defaults with AF and the wiki moving forward - mainly the relaxing of some defaults

THIS is the release for all those who will use ESR115
