    8484Not a change to the build process, but in 90.0 the ability to use ftp links was removed.
     85If this bothers you, consider using firefox-legacy (currently 78.13.0) as a short-term workaround until you find an alternative.

     87== Problems with 91.0 failing to build ==
     88
     89On a couple of systems (one fairly recent, one BLFS-10. with necessary updates) 91.0 fails to build - a python test on libgkrust.a reports
     90{{{
     91TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | check_networking | libgkrust.a |
     92Identified 1 networking function(s) being imported in the rust static library (getsockname)
     93}}}
     94
     95This happens with both clang and gcc.
     96
     97As a workaround until you can update those systems successfully, consider updating to firefox-legacy as a short-term workaround.

    8699== Dependencies for the latest release ==
     
    88101This is an attempt to help people who want to keep using the latest upstream release, and will be updated from time to time. It is also a store of important changes which will need to be addressed when the book moves to the next ESR version.
    89102
     103Once 91.0esr is settled in the book, much of the information above will be removed.
