Package: firefox-esr
Version: 91


 Hi !


 Since I read the firefox 91 have some serious bug/vuln issues


 I perform an update on my system


:~$sudo apt update
Get:1 http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera InRelease [33.5 kB]
Fetched 33.5 kB in 3s (9,913 B/s)

Ready to upgrade firefox

$ sudo apt-get install firefox-esr
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
firefox-esr is already the newest version (91.13.0esr-1~deb11u1).
firefox-esr set to manually installed.


I notice the update only give me the 91.13.0esr version

 If I take a look on the site[1] the 91.13.0esr version is vulnerable

It looks as if you don't have security in your sources list.

Make sure /etc/apt/sources.list or a fragment in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ contains

 deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-security main

Well, not really if it is commented out.

Anyway, I am glad it works as expected when security is enabled.

When Debian does the next stable point release, I expect that will happen.
