    I hope you'll find the time to download the new PowerShell script from there, put it into the same folder as LibreWolf-WinUpdater.exe and try it out (right-click, "Run with PowerShell"). You can post your findings here or in the issue on Codeberg (or create a new one on GitHub if you already have an account there).

    /u/AbrarFN The build process was changed, which also meant the download location was changed somewhat. I wasn't (made) aware of this until the new release was already online. I updated LibreWolf WinUpdater within the hour, you can get it from https://codeberg.org/ltguillaume/librewolf-winupdater/releases/latest or https://github.com/ltguillaume/librewolf-winupdater/releases/latest

    Functionality is simply not implemented for some reason, but there are workarounds to that like using a package manager or installing the updater they recommend in their site
  • LibreWolf Updater can be trusted?

    This won't update LibreWolf automatically. When a new version is released, you have to manually install the new setup.exe again. If you want to get notified when a new version is released, you can get the unofficial LibreWolf Updater extension You can also take a look at the unofficial LibreWolf-WinUpdater, which automatically updates LibreWolf on Windows when its not running.

    Apparently it has some default settings that the mods don't agree with. If you do use it anyway make sure you keep it updated with your package manager on Linux or a tool like LibreWolf-WinUpdater on Windows.
