Regardless, if your installation has the Firefox 115 version then it is not only out of date but is a real security risk. My /etc/apt/sources.list contains: deb https://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware deb-src https://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware This will provide your installation with security updates and the latest Firefox ESR which just received a security update since my last post and is now at version 128.4.0esr-1~deb12u1. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
