     63libpng has been updated to 1.6.43 in the shipped version, using the same version for system apng is recommended.

    7171''The workarounds needed to use LLVM-18 with firefox-115.8.0 and later are not needed with firefox-123.0 or later.''
    … …  
    7373''The fixes in the development book for python-3.12 needed in firefox-115.4.0esr and later were included in firefox-120.0. The fix to allow use of system icu-74 is still needed and unlikely to be applied upstream because of the experiments with icu4x.''

    75 However, the changes for python-3.12 appear not to have all been completed, or something in python-3.12.1 is causing further breakage. In particular, using './mach configure' will end in error, complaining about an unsupported version of python. If avoiding the configure step, which I prefer as a quick way to check the dependencies and mozconfig, the './mach build' will complete but the install then similarly reports errors ''after the install has completed'' and (if using scripts which exit on error) stops. In BLFS we have now removed the invocation of ./mach configure.
     75Ptyhon-3.12 is not yet supported.

    8989For 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.
