  • newest Firefox needs newer version
  • cacert keeps being built from newer version
    This isn't such a large rebuild, perhaps surprisingly.

This is meant as a quick work-around for various packages having problems (#93955), at least until we know more about what's going on in there. I'd like fast merge, but I wanted to post this as a PR at least for a while.

Word on the street is that NSS release support is linked to Firefox branch support. Firefox 68 ESR, which this version is supposed to be used with will be EOL in 4 weeks, I think.

It's weird that no other distro seems to be running into this.

Apart from the street it's also suggested on their release page: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/NSS_Releases

Not touching nss for cacert turns out to be the reason why this isn't such a big rebuild.

The issues is probably be that we're not passing --enable-libpkix, bitwarden with an nss built with it syncs whereas without it doesn't.

Edit: discord as well.
