For those not in the know:

But I've been doin' the exact same thing ;) many versions prior to r3dfox-140.0.4 via an extension:

With the unload tabs feature, this should make for a really cool ESR release, but at least before all of the AI stuff inundates us. :D

Hope it will be the same for v142 because we never saw R3dfox v141 (yet ?) :P

Yeah, I just haven't been feeling it. I'd have to migrate to another repo because Mozilla made a new Firefox repo on GitHub. I don't know when I will get around to it.

Is that the same for ESR K4Sum1? No pressure; I'm just curious.

If you're referring to the change of repos, I'm afraid it is:

https://github.com/mozilla-firefox/firefox/tree/esr140

(previously hosted on https://hg-edge.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-esr140/ ?)

https://www.heise.de/en/news/Mozilla-uses-Microsoft-GitHub-as-the-official-home-for-Firefox-source-code-10384645.html

https://devclass.com/2025/05/14/mozilla-quietly-makes-microsofts-github-the-authoritative-home-for-firefox-code/

GitHub, of course, is owned by Microsoft :evil: ...

Probably related, several other Firefox-specific resources also recently changed URLs, e.g.

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/140.2.0/releasenotes/ =>

https://www.firefox.com/en-US/firefox/140.2.0/releasenotes/
