To support Firefox' changes to (finally! ;) respect XDG directories, LibreWolf sticks to ~/.librewolf if it already exists, for backward compatibility; but will use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/librewolf otherwise.

Unfortunately, we've also had to drop 32bit builds for Windows starting with this release.

See https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/147.0/releasenotes/ for upstream changes.

#LibreWolf v147.0-1 is now available!

Notable Changes:

Thanks to our two new core contributors (<3) we've now fully moved our CI and main release artifacts to @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de! (this might be relevant to check for any downstream packagers) and managed to tackle a whole bunch of other long-open issues!

La controversa battaglia legislativa dell'UE su chatcontrol sta entrando in una fase decisiva. L'intervista a @echo_pbreyer@digitalcourage.social

Il 2026 è l’anno in cui impareremo fino a che punto l’UE è disposta ad arrivare. Il regolamento sugli abusi sessuali sui minori, comunemente noto come #chatcontrol richiederà alle piattaforme online di rilevare, segnalare e rimuovere materiale illegale, ha una storia lunga e controversa.

It is actually kind of wild that we're simultaneously in an era of people complaining that Wayland is destroying choice and also maybe the greatest number of high-quality desktop environments aimed at different use cases the free software world has ever had
