Public bug reported: On Ubuntu 17.10 Artful (current Ubuntu development version), the Firefox package is extremely out of date for some reason.
Quoting the package page: https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/firefox "Package: firefox (50.1.0+build2-0ubuntu1)" Compare to these non-development Ubuntu builds: https://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/firefox https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/firefox https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/firefox All of those have "firefox (54.0+build3-0ubuntu0.*)" Firefox 50 was obsoleted (by version 51) in January 2017, 7 months ago. The current Firefox release (as of this week) is 55, which was just released. Seems like Artful should have either 54 or 55. ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1710306 Title: Ubuntu 17.10 Artful has extremely out of date Firefox package (50.1.0) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1710306/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
