This is an unusual post… As we warned in the past updates MGASA-2025-01951<\/a><\/sup>, MGASA-2025-01972<\/a><\/sup> and MGASA-2025-02013<\/a><\/sup>, the updates for Firefox and Thunderbird could not be delivered for armv7hl for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The issue had two causes. The first one, noticed during the QA process for the linked Security Advisories, was produced by a bug in the tools used to build Firefox for this architecture4<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second one was harder to squash, and we were on the verge of informing you that we could not continue updating these software products in Mageia 9 for the armv7hl architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But then, Pascal Terjan (one of our packagers), found a patch in the Debian community for exactly the same issue (a Rust component was using the fat link time optimization)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firefox is now updated in all architectures, in both Mageia 9 and Cauldron, to the 128.12.0 ESR version \u2013 an upgrade from 115.13.0 on armv7hl – and Thunderbird will follow once version 128.12 is ready.<\/p>\n\n\n
