Waterfox is based on Firefox (and uses Firefox's engine) and is compiled using various compilers and using Intel's Math Kernel Library, Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 and Advanced Vector Extensions.
There are official releases for Windows (including a portable version), Mac OS, Linux and Android in two versions: Classic (Year.Month) and Current (G.x.x.x). It is intended to be ethical and (in Waterfox Classic) maintain support for legacy extensions dropped by Firefox, from which it is forked. Waterfox is an open-source web browser for 圆4, ARM64, and PPC64LE systems.
However, the fix will only be available with the next update for the browser.Web browser, mobile web browser, feed reader Alex Kontos has already fixed the problem in recent commits. In a side note, Waterfox 4.0.4 does not display images on certain websites, more specifically it fails to show AVIF images.
The menu bar still has the icons next to the labels, with no option to toggle the option. The about:addo-ons page does not display the add-on version information.

As mentioned earlier, the browser ships with. One of Waterfox's contributors suggested that the problem could be related to the Widevine Content Decryption Module plugin may not being updated automatically, when Waterfox itself got updated. So, that's what I tried next, and it indeed seems to be buggy. I should mention that the problem doesn't occur with Firefox, Edge or Vivaldi, on my computer.Ī similar issue related to Spotify has been reported by a user. I have seen this issue on phones which don't have the Widevine L1 certificate, so it seems to be related to the decryption technology. When I tried to watch videos on Amazon Prime, however, the streaming site displayed an error about high-definition playback not being available, and told me to update my browser.
