Oh yes, hawkeye is still actively maintaining waterfox, including Arch packages, but not here, indeed. I have found him on github and have opened my issue there. Thanks!

@papavlos please leave comments regarding the AUR package only. I believe hawkeye has stopped using and supporting waterfox

@hawkeye116477 I am installing from home_hawkeye116477_waterfox_Arch/waterfox rather than from AUR, but don't know where to report it: today is the second time when the "waterfox" file in /bin links to itself instead of "/usr/lib/waterfox/waterfox". Please check it. I had to remove the existing /bin/waterfox endless-cycling link and then create it as "ln -s /usr/lib/waterfox/waterfox /bin/waterfox"

Marking a new release as it seems the binary package has changed since @selfdenial posted. I've tested basic functionality and seems to be ok

@rafnov Yeah, personally now I'm using Vivaldi, but if old extensions will stop working then I will start using Floorp.

My advice is: drop it. At least as long they don't give a ... about users.

@rafnov Those mentioned fixes should be already in latest Waterfox version. In case of not responding at GitHub, I would say it's nothing new, they usually rarely reply.

Maybe you know what's wrong with the upstream? While most 3rd party Firefox clones hurry in fixing dangerous Firefox flaw: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2024-51/ the Waterfox do not respond. Not for PC, neither for Android it hasn't been fixed yet. I know we don't discuss Android version here, but worthy mention, as it shows upstrem attitude: they don't care. Autofill on Android is broken again, and no fix, while on many other clones it works flawlessly as on vanilla Firefox. Waterfox dev does not respond on github.
