2016-08-04 21:08:09 Einar Mostad description Firefox on Ubuntu touch lags behind. I have Firefox 44 on my M10 right now. This is no good because newer versions have security updates that keeps users safe on the internet. If Ubuntu touch is to stay on older versions of Firefox, then you should use the Extended Release Support versions (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/) that include now new features over a period of time, but backports security updates, and it should be updated whenever there is a point release from upstream. (Maybe this will be solved when Snaps come to Ubuntu touch, but until then, we still need to be secure when online.) Firefox on Ubuntu touch lags behind. I have Firefox 44 on my M10 right now.
