Perhaps something has changed in the way how Mozilla's server handles the authentication process. So, this problem is clearly not related to the update. When I tried to sign in through the browser on my Windows machine in the previous build, it failed to work too. The login form gets stuck on 'working', after entering the username and clicking the continue button.

There seems to be a bug with Waterfox, I noticed that I couldn't sign in to my Firefox Sync account on my Mac. The latest build also includes some fixes for the stability, functionality and the security of the browser. A bug related to BootstrapLoader was preventing the installation of legacy add-ons such as TabMixPlus, this has been resolved. It fixes an issue that was introduced in G4.1.3 (also released last week). Waterfox was updated to version G4.1.3.1 a few days ago for Windows, macOS and Linux.

Users who prefer to remain on the old version will need to change an option to avoid the auto-update. The developer also mentioned that existing installations of the browser will be upgraded from G4 to G5 automatically when the update becomes available. The next version will be called Waterfox G5. Waterfox G5 will be delivered as an auto-update The last version of ESR 91 will be available on August 22, after which ESR 102 will be the only version that will be maintained by the organization. For reference, the Extended Support Release for Firefox 91, was rolled out August 9, 2021. According to the Firefox Release Calendar, Mozilla will release Firefox ESR 102 on June 27th, 2022, i.e.
