Re: [Taler] torbrowser+wallet plugin service

[Sebastian Javier Marchano]

Thanks for pointing this out! I did a very small test run on Firefox 115.beta9 and it worked. 

Looks promising. Image attached.

Well, or just wait until later this year. It's actually an upstream
problem, see:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1639542

which seems to be resolved in Firefox Beta 115, which will make it into
Firefox ESR 115 at some point. Tor Browser will switch to that ESR
version later this year (likely in September). If things are still not
working then, please file a new Tor Browser ticket. :)

Thanks,
Georg
