What about using flatpak version of FF ?
I won't let an old, but fully functional computer die just because some company tell me that they won't make no more security updates to their OS. Thanks Linux :)

The current version is 68.0.2 When was the last time you did Install Updates and what repository are you using?

I'm on LL 4.2 and the newest firefox version in the repository is at 66.  I need at least version 67 to install a particular firefox add-on.

I downloaded the update for 69, but was cautioned I shouldn't use the update file and have to use the update from the repository.

Is there anyway to update firefox to a version greater than 66 with LL 4.2?
