LibreWolfupdate shows me an available update that isn't visible on the website or in the installer repository, but does appear in the source code repository.

![image](/attachments/8a1116ea-969b-4598-95f3-82c635191d5d) LibreWolfupdate shows me an available update that isn't visible on the website or in the installer repository, but does appear in the source code repository.

Thanks for reporting.

  1. The website indeed didn't pick up yet on the latest update. This is likely a glitch caused by the recent migration to our own Forgejo instance.
  2. The fact that WinUpdater can't download the setup file may just be a result of a (temporarily) unstable connection. Does it keep showing this after restarting WinUpdater?

Could you please try the following?

  1. Download the zip https://codeberg.org/librewolf/winupdater/releases/download/1.19.2/LibreWolf-WinUpdater_1.19.2.zip
  2. Extract
    • If you have LibreWolf installed, extract the zip to %AppData%\LibreWolf\WinUpdater (overwriting the existing files)
    • If you have the portable version, extract the zip into the portable folder, so that the existing files are overwritten
  3. Try again and report back (screenshot)

Thanks for responding. To be honest, I'm a bit lost here. I have no way to reproduce #75 either, which might have to do with the same issue you're having.

Perhaps there's some anti-malware software in between that blocks https://librewolf.dev?

For now, please be sure you're updated by downloading the newest version from https://librewolf.net/installation/windows/ so you're at least secure. If it persists for next versions, please provide the following information:

Sorry for not responding sooner, but I hadn't been able to install the new version and check whether the WinUpdater notification would pop up again. After 24 hours—and a reboot—the notification hasn't popped up again. We'll just have to see what happens after another reboot, but it looks like it won't pop up. 🤞

I don't understand what you're describing now. Did you manually install the latest version of LibreWolf, or did it update via WinUpdater?

Update manually last version.

Let's see what happens with a new update, please do report back.

We're working on enabling Mozilla's native update system, which would render WinUpdater obsolete, at least for the installed version of LibreWolf.

Could you open C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts as administrator (in Notepad or another text editor), then add the following lines, save and retry the update?

45.90.13.181 librewolf.dev
45.90.13.181 dl.librewolf.net

This will make sure it's not a DNS-related issue, as suggested in #75.

Unfortunately, the DNS issue hasn't solved the problem. It keeps trying to find a file that it can't locate.

Hmz, I forgot Windows Defender usually resets the hosts file pretty quickly, so the entries may not even be there anymore.

What does ping dl.librewolf.net say in a command prompt?
