Description of problem:

The Firefox flatpak is starting to get far behind the RPM found in the stable Fedora repo.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Fedora remote Firefox - 94.0
Fedora stable repo & Flathub Firefox - 95.0.2
Fedora Silverblue 35


How reproducible:

Always: the issue is observed each time.

Steps to Reproduce:

2. systemctl reboot (if needed)
3. flatpak remote-ls fedora | grep Firefox


Actual results:

matthew@localhost ~]$ flatpak remote-ls fedora | grep Firefox
Firefox	org.mozilla.Firefox	94.0	stable

[matthew@localhost ~]$ flatpak remote-ls flathub | grep Firefox
Firefox	org.mozilla.firefox	95.0.2	stable

Kalev: any idea why the flatpak is not build? https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=37

Comment 2 Kalev Lember 2022-01-04 15:46:34 UTC
Jan: I am on sabbatical for the next 6 months and not taking care of all the package builds I've usually done. I thought mclasen was going to talk to you to pick up the flatpak builds where I left them. Can you talk to him please to figure out who is going to take care of the firefox and thunderbird flatpak builds while I'm not around?

Comment 3 Jan Horak 2022-05-05 10:48:32 UTC
Tomas Popela actually moved this forward, please give it some karma:

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 35 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 35 on 2022-12-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '35'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 35 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 5 Ben Cotton 2022-12-13 16:13:33 UTC
Fedora Linux 35 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2022-12-13.

field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
