Can I get more info on why these are showing up? I've never seen such a thing on F-Droid before.

Uninstalling my primary browser isn't really a practical solution, what am I supposed to use, Chrome? How about fixing the version they're shipping? Or should I be looking somewhere other than F-Droid for Android Firefox?
Theyre the distributor, the dont fix apps and its not their job to do so. Getting the same app from a different source wont change anything
huh? no one's asking them to fix firefox, we're asking that they just ship the latest version.
the warning states that several vulnerabilities have been fixed since firefox version 130, f-droid's latest version of the package is 129: that very much makes it sound like the problem is wholly caused by f-droid not making version 130 available.
Well ok if thats the case you are completely right, as long as there isnt some kind of issue and others have already updated the package pushing security fixes asap is indeod important
