Mozzarella extensions are seriously outdated! (gnuzilla.gnu.org)

Howdy!

I recently started using LibreWolf (because there is no good Firefox package for Guix ATM). However, when I tried to install my standard extensions, I was redirected to the Mozzarella web page. I thought "fine, I'm a good GNU citizen" and installed a few extensions. But soon I realized that the were seriously outdated and also dysfunctional. For example, the Bitwarden extension is from July 2023.

Shouldn't LibreWolf stop sending users to Mozzarella if it's a dead project hosting outdated extensions, considering all the security issues that implies?

That has to be something with the Guix package of LibreWolf because I've never see that site using the version from the AUR.

And my installs of UBlock and Dark Reader are both up to date with the latest github releases.

I couldn't find anything about the Guix package on the official LibreWolf website so I'm assuming it's not properly supported, They do offer an Appimage or you can compile it from source

You're right. It's a Guix issue. My bad. They do patch the config.
