Firefox 153 is now in extra-testing across both x86_64 and all architectures, signaling a major browser update moving toward stable.

Firefox 153 has landed in extra-testing for x86_64 [1] with corresponding i18n packages [2] for all supported architectures, positioning the release for promotion to stable within 48 hours. This update comes as qgpgme moves to 2.2.0-1 in stable extra [3], ensuring users with PGP signing workflows don't fall behind. Keepalived 2.4.3-1 also enters testing [4], a critical update for systems running high-availability clustering that operators should validate in staging before the stable push. Separately, dump_syms 2.3.8-1 graduated to stable [5], a routine maintenance release for crash reporting infrastructure. The Firefox promotion typically follows a 24 to 48 hour testing window, so stable deployments should prepare for the update by end of day.
