Firefox: Upgrading to 152.0.1 should be done with caution [View all]

I was having really serious problems trying to run the latest update under a patched-core install of OSX 10.15.6 (ancient). So ... I've installed LinuxLite 8.0 (this month's release) and installed Firefox there. Now I'm having problems with the displayed fonts turning to hash -- about half the letters show up, and the others are replaced with underscores and unreadables. It turns out that changing the zoom level can fix the problem -- try control-+ or control-- several times, and you'll probably find there is a "forbidden" level of zoom but others are OK, if a touch too small or too large for comfort. At one point it seemed it was 100%, then several minutes later 110% ! Also, when changing settings, some of the dialogs have the same problem, and changing zoom doesn't necessarily work. Opening a new page may start the process all over again. Hope the update gets a badly-needed debugged update soon.

I was thinking 152.0.2 was already out, but now I don't see it. Maybe my mistake; maybe they pulled it ...
