    6363It looks as if firefox-103 updated the profile. Similarly, 108.0 seems to have updated the profile, but now it warns if trying to start with an older profile (shared /home across multiple BLFS builds) and lets you quit.

    6767cbindgen >= 0.24.3 and therefore the sed needed for 102 is not wanted.
     
    7171The shipped libpng has now been updated to 1.6.39, using the same version for system libpng is recommended.
    7272
    73 The shipped libwebp remains at 1.2.4, using the same version or later (1.3.0 is ok) is recommended
     73Identifying the version of shipped libwebp has become problematic, version 1.3.0 works well.

    75 nss >= 3.87.1 (3.88.0 does not include a necessary fix, use 3.88.1)
     75nss >= 3.88.1

    7777nspr >= 4.35
     
    9090For the moment, g++ can be used if you pass --without-wasm-sandboxed-libraries but the changes in gcc-12 mean that the book has moved to using clang++, still without wasm.

    9696The early betas for 92.0 and 93.0 needed static libstdc++.a to link logalloc-replay (that specifies -static-libstdc++). In later betas that was not compiled. While using a static system lib (outside of rust) is annoying, the expected lifetime of a firefox beta is short and this requirement can be remembered if a vulnerability in libstdc++ is ever disclosed. I assume this requirement will continue for early betas (those where EARLY_BETA_OR_EARLIER is defined in build/defines.sh).
