I do not know if it's a development issue, but the Firefox package has been in version 64 nightly since the version of Mageia 7 Beta 1

Mga7beta1 was released with Firefox 63, see https://blog.mageia.org/en/2018/12/07/announcing-mageia-7-beta-1/

Since then we've had 5 updates: 5 different releases of FF 64, the last one was firefox-64.0-7.mga7 on February 12, so technically this bug report is invalid.
However, your intention is to have a good FF in Mageia 7 stable, so I'll close this report as duplicate of bug 24333because of the following:

We could update to firefox-66 now, but Mageia 7 stable will be released with the then latest ESR version, which is firefox-60.6 at the moment. It is probably more useful to do that before Mageia 7 RC is released, instead of upgrading to FF-66.

If you'd like to use a newer FF, you could try firefox-beta-67.0-0.b4.mga7. It is only available in English, though.
