    My antiX-19.4 32-bit install has 78.13 and a candidate for upgrade to 78.15.

    Probably because antiX-19 is based on Debian Buster Stable.

    I would be careful using the Firefox website version. Make sure to do some in-depth research before doing that. Maybe get some feed-back from some others who have done it.

    You could try upgrading to “testing” or “Sid” repos. But if you are not really geeky that may lead to other problems. If you do that use a separate partition and keep your working system untouched.

    Best is to upgrade to antiX-21, which is based on Debian Bullseye Stable. Some here have upgrade from an install of 19. But I did not do that. I installed antiX-21 from scratch. I backed up my /home folder and then re-installed what I needed. Seems to be less troubles to track down by starting with a fresh install.
