MX 17/18 Repository: The Waterfox Thread (64-bit only)

[NevilsStation]

It appears that they have fixed the code ... thanks!

It installed fine on my system. It did want me to confirm the change of the repository (is that normal?). It runs rather well and I have a feeling that it is somewhat faster than Firefox. And running it with firejail, no problem.

Now updated to the current 56.2.7.1 version in our main repo.

OK, it's cooking on high right now (12 threads).

Built, installed, tested a bit--seems to be OK. Uploading for main repo now.

Waterfox has been updated to the current 56.2.10 in our main repo.

Changes/fixes include:

* Latest security fixes up to Firefox ESR 60.7
* Added new Mozilla certificates to be able to install add-ons from AMO again
* Waterfox now identifies as Waterfox once again!
- This fixes issues with repeat CAPTCHAs, hooray!
- Websites that require a vanilla Firefox user agent will get one, so far: web.whatsapp.com, amazon., netflix.com, chase.com. Please request if a website you visit doesn’t recognise the Waterfox user agent.
- This should stop YouTube from doing A/B tests that break on Waterfox.
