Don't upgrade to macOS 10.15 when it is released

Post by frg »

There is a high chance that 2.49.5 will not work reliably with 10.15. I am already seeing crashes from people using the Beta.

There are still bugs open even for latest Firefox and it is unclear if they will be resolved for the general 10.15 release. So please at least wait. We do not plan to do an additional 2.49 release and upgrading macOS might force you to use the unofficial 2.53 until we release an official version.

wouldnt it be better for users just to use 2.53 anyway ? rather than 2.49.5, though my guess even using 2.53 maynot make much difference since it affects Firefox71 also

firefox-esr60 --- affected
firefox-esr68 --- affected
firefox69 --- affected
firefox70 --- affected
