By default, only the LTS/ESR release of Firefox is unmasked (or marked
|
| 6 |
as stable), of which the latest version is 91.10.0, however, if you
|
| 7 |
unmask it, you can use the latest Firefox version, currently 101.0.1.

Though unmasking Firefox leads to more frequent rebuilds since the rapid
|
| 9 |
release has, well, frequent releases.

As a side note, by default, searching using `emerge --search` does not
|
| 12 |
show the available masked versions (not sure if an option exists to
|
| 13 |
change that). One option that I recommend is to install app-portage/eix,
|
| 14 |
it's a small program that searches (much faster then emerge) available
|
| 15 |
packages, and gives more information, in the case of Firefox, it shows
|
| 16 |
both the ESR and rapid releases. See the Gentoo Wiki article [0] if you
|
| 17 |
want to know more about it.
