Firefox 130 was released on the 3th of September, almost 2 months ago. This didn’t just happen in a short time frame.
Comment on The Fennec Android browser is currently behind on Firefox security updates, deemed unsafe by F-droid

It’s just very unfortunate timing. Google removed some library Firefox depended on in NDK and it meant developers need to make significant changes to their packaging system. At the same time critical vulnerably was discovered in Firefox. On top of that, everything happened when main developer of Fennec was away from home and short on time. But from what I’ve seen on Fennec gitlab most of the work is done so you should expect update soon.

Fennec being a version behind for over a month because the dev was absent wouldn’t normally be that big a deal if not for the vulnerability being discovered.

Yep, it’s this. Unfortunate but from what I was reading, solvable with a little time. Unfortunately the dev has been unavailable but will be back soon. I’m not too concerned
