firefox
- 99.0 was released to all supported Ubuntu releases
- filed a bug to request rustc update for the upcoming firefox 101
- continued investigating the regression with drag’n’drop in the snap in jammy
- bisected until I identified the mutter commit that caused the regression
- handed over to @3v1n0 , who promptly identified the root cause and proposed a fix, which I confirmed fixes the problem
-
native messaging portal integration
- completed fully asynchronous implementation
- addressed another round of review comments
- found a problem with users not being prompted to allow the portal’s request, because the app id for a snapped app doesn’t match what gnome-shell expects (a desktop file basename)
- uploaded xdg-desktop-portal 1.14.2-1ubuntu2 to jammy
chromium
- updated stable to 100.0.4896.75
