They are all out of date, updates just take longer to arrive including security patches. Just use base Firefox and configure it as needed.
Always the answer until it goes to complete shit. Folks will always suggest other forks, but in the same breath describe them as subpar compared to Firefox base. FF is still best, just tweak it a smidge, browse away.
LibreWolf seems pretty fast about it. The difference is only ever a matter of a few days for routine updates.
For example, it looks like Firefox 141 with the AI stuff was released on July 22, a few weeks ago.
My LibreWolf install is 141.0.2 (edit: since updated) My Firefox install is 141.0.3
That difference is worth it to me to know that various things I don't want have been removed from the code entirely, and that I can keep a completely default install of Firefox and/or nuke and replace that install whenever necessary.
Edit to add: A few hours since posting, I checked for updates and now I'm on LibreWolf 141.0.3. :)
This is always the answer I go back to with Firefox. I just don't see a benefit to switching (yet) to another version of Firefox.
