Current version of firefox shipped with Mageia 8 is 102, which is unsupported. However, Mageia 8 is stille supported, so we might want to provide a supported firefox (115) until its end of life. https://whattrainisitnow.com/release/?version=esr
For example, we can't use slack.com on a Mageia 8 Firefox with latest updates.
Thank you for the report. Any site that does not work with Firefox matters. Do you ever try other browsers? My preference is Falkon (although I have added Vivaldi externally). Assigning to ns80 who mostly deals with Firefox.

From Bug 32258c1: >For the moment, Firefox and Thunderbird 115.2 cannot be built for Mageia 8 >because they need at least rust 1.66.0 and Mageia 8 only provides rust 1.60.0. CC akien as he is the registered maintainer for rust Setting as security and high priority as this is a much used application, and have security implications if not updated. In Mageia 9 we already shipped new Firefox as security update. Workaround for users wanting to use latest Firefox (ESR or not) is to install it from upstream or as Flatpak.

I can't test anymore, I switched to Mageia 9. Sad to see "High priority" being 2 weeks old without any news...
