Question - Which version of Firefox is Floorp current in?

[mateus3c]

I have heard that the newest Firefox version (119+) got way faster than what we were used to, so I was wondering if Floorp is up-to-date? Sometimes I feel like Floorp is significantly slower than other browsers, an extensive benchmark made by Diolinux showed pretty bad statistics...

Floorp is based on Firefox ESR. This is the version that receives major updates less frequently than usual, but security fixes are applied as usual.
The next major ESR update will be 128.

You can check the current version of Floorp and the corresponding ESR version at about:preferences#general.

How quickly does Floorp publish an update after FF ESR gets updated (e.g. with security patches)? How quickly does Floorp get updated on the Winget repo? I know Winget can sometimes lag with getting the latest versions of stuff)

[CutterKnife]

Regular security fixes are distributed earlier than upstream and urgent security fixes are distributed within two days of the upstream release.
Winget versions are usually distributed within a few days of the Floorp release.

That's a great answer, thank you. Now I'm curious, what does "earlier than upstream" mean?

[CutterKnife]

AFAIK, Firefox ESR (which Floorp 11 is based on) has a “waiting for shipping” phase before it is actually released; Floorp incorporates this code when it updates, resulting in an earlier release than Firefox.
Urgent security fixes do not go through this release-waiting phase, so there is a delay in getting them into Floorp.
