Trying to load my usual Proton Mail web app and I get an error that is completely un-bypassable. Details of the error say "This version of Firefox is no longer supported due to a bug in the WebCrypto API. Please Update to a newer version".

Has anyone encountered this and found a fix? Not sure the devs are aware either. Any info is appreciated.

EDIT: Issue was somehow my LibreWolf was not updating as a result of various package manager repo things. Manually updating the install to the latest version fixed this problem.

I understand and agree with you in principle but "Tell the mail service to change their application" is such a long-shot step to fix the issue that I simply want to be able to use my browser to access my webmail...

From where I'm standing it's easier to switch to hardened Firefox than to switch mail providers just to continue to use Librewolf

EDIT: I would love an explanation of wtf the WebCrypto API even is and why you think it's spyware, though EDIT 2: Proton claims the WebCrypto API is a browser security feature. It's also developed by Mozilla

EDIT 3: Fixed this by simply forcing an update to the latest version of LibreWolf. Not a browser problem, not a proton mail problem, WebCrypto API is not spyware.
