I think point 7 is what I meant with synchronization (both ... moved on). The missed thing in my big picture is a explanation why version 91.13.0 is not (at least) in the stream composes. In particular its not about this package but more about the understanding ...So, I was about to point you to https://composes.stream.centos.org/development/latest-CentOS-Stream/compose/ https://composes.stream.centos.org/development/latest-CentOS-Stream/compose/ which is a daily compose of everything with the -gate tag. But, I see that the new firefox isn't there ... soo ... Something is happening differently with this firefox build. I'll do some more digging.
In the meantime I see that that the RHEL Firefox team is putting all effort into the next ESR release (firefox-102.3.0). We all known that CentOS do not provide guarantees for releasesing in timely manner, but it is very unfortunate to not release the builded and gated packages at all. That is a new quality. I'm sure the community would appreciate at least a late version ... Is it possible that the community helps in the testing phase (assuming that was the place of the issue)?
