Related... https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1966096 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1966096 If you're running Firefox on Debian please make sure you manually update it since the package repo's been down for a while. I filed a 'support' ticket first ( https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1510388 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1510388 ) since it seemed to be the proper place, but no one seems to look at those.

The repo appears to be working for installing/updating packages. Mozilla should allow file listing which should fix the 404s, and make this repo behave as expected when manually browsed (Apparently hosted on a Google webserver; maybe Google forbids this?). apt-get changelog firefox Get:1 store: firefox 138.0.3~build1 Changelog Fetched 129 B in 0s (0 B/s) firefox (138.0.3~build1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium * N/A -- Mozilla <release@mozilla.com> Mon, 12 May 2025 12:40:33 -0000 date Tue May 13 08:56:09 AM PDT 2025 Or, to really prove it to yourself, you can re-download the package: apt-get install --download-only --reinstall firefox

  I will have to look into that more tomorrow. My only Debian desktop is a laptop at family's house and currently asleep. It mentioned an error with the repository but my first troubleshooting step was to try to manually verify I could _get_ to the repo in a browser.

This is about Mozilla's builds of Firefox for Debian, not Debian's builds, right? So regular Debian users who run the default Firefox (firefox-esr) would be unaffected.

  Correct, but that's firefox-esr not firefox. At one point I found it necessary to switch as there was an issue with security updates, but that might have been an issue in that particular system's configuration that I since resolved.

    To be clear for the sake of other readers, Debian's firefox-esr package is Firefox. It's simply a release from Mozilla's Extended Support Release channel, as distinct from the Rapid Release channel that you are apparently using. Not a different project/product. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/choosing-firefox-update-channel https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/choosing-firefox-update...
