Addon signatures were not re-generated – instead the same certificate was issued again, only with its expiry date updated.īecause its public key and metadata otherwise remain identical, it can be used to verify the old signatures – but, of course, only as long as you actually have the new certificate. The recent signature changes involved reissuing an expired certificate. Like the binary versions of Firefox, Waterfox will automatically update from within the browser itself.I wonder if the recent signature changes have affected something. The available versions are Classic and Current and both can be used by downloading the binaries, unzipping the downloaded file and executing (double click) "waterfox". If you are interested in trying Watefox, you can download one of its two versions from this link.
If this is a problem for you, Waterfox promises support for "Legacy" extensions, that is, the old ones that the official Firefox no longer supports.
Among the ballast released we have some extensions, which is not serious if we do not use any of the ones that are no longer supported but it can be a problem if they have eliminated one on which we depend.
But that a software is open source allows us to create what is known as "Forks" of it, and that is exactly Waterfox- A fork of Firefox that has been designed, among other things, to work on computers with more limited resources.įirefox has made many improvements in the latest versions, but sometimes this also means that they have had to lose weight. Few are saved and at the head of the dissidents we have Apple's Safari or Mozilla's Firefox. Most of the web browsers out there are based on Chromium.
