@ClassicHasClass yes it does. I am using NetworkManager btw. Are you using systemd-networkd or some dhcp clients?

I can't really test this on the T2 because it has a static IP.

That's the plan. I am fixing the PPC64 Simulator on ARM64 now so the Firefox team could run the PPC64 JIT tests on their CI.

Fedora 44 also has Budgie 10.10, PHP 8.5, Ruby 4.0, Boost 1.90, Golang 1.26, CMake 4.0, and more for delivering a leading-edge upstream Linux experience.

Yet another release. I've been testing Fedora 44 since the beta release and till now I could not any issue with the blackbird.

I am working on the Firefox JIT atm so once that's done I will re-visit this work to start filling them out incrementally.

@carlosgonz https://github.com/runlevel5/firefox/releases/tag/alpha

EDIT: please use https://github.com/runlevel5/firefox/releases/tag/p9-may-4 instead as it is much more optimised

The foundation is laid. Community now can have a go with adding more features

Thanks for doing this. I noticed you had another PR committed. Are you working on filling in the stubs?
I started with having Claude Code doing the heavy lifting in writing code, but then noticed the new PR.
So I don't want to (have Claude Code) duplicate any work already being done.

Good work picking it up. Unfortunately I'm having trouble with Fedora on my Blackbird (won't DHCP through my wifi bridge), so I can't really check it right now, but I've been following the commits as they land.

Looking forward to your feedback in the Pull Request. I will freeze the codes when Firefox team cut the 151 release then proceed with upstreaming

@carlosgonz I mean yes I could package the LE binary (built on Fedora 44). Btw I have not tested against Debian so unsure if the package would work or not (in theory it should)
