Description Adam Williamson 2022-10-27 18:44:07 UTC 
Fedora 37 Final has been delayed by several weeks due to multiple factors (most lately the pending critical openssl vuln). Currently we have Firefox 105.0.2 in stable for F37. 106.0.1 is already stable for F36 and will go stable for F35 soon. It is in testing for F37, with positive feedback.

Given the delays, I'd suggest it makes sense to pull 106.0.1 in for F37 Final. This provides a better impression of freshness for the release, and avoids downgrades for people upgrading from F35 and F36 before the 0-day update push. There were also two "high" impact CVEs fixed in Firefox 106; it would be good to have those fixed on the live media and out-of-the-box.

This bug is filed for the purpose of being proposed as a freeze exception to allow this to happen.

This is part of the broader plan, generally agreed upon at the 2022-10-27 go/no-go meeting, to consider freshening up key components for the delayed release.
Comment 1 Adam Williamson 2022-10-27 18:44:42 UTC 
Note, 107 release is scheduled after our new target date, so doesn't make sense to wait for that.
