Fdroid is known to have a week or so lag between a new release of an open source app and the time it is available for users. Personally, given that f-droid is a volunteer driven organization, I accept that extra risk.
I understand the problem if your threat model makes this security risk unacceptable, however it is not fair to blame f-droid contributors if they don’t have the resources to identify, test and deploy near instant updates.
F-Droid should handle browser more important then other apps to fix it ASAP (not only this important 0-day).
It’s sad a Webview/ Chromium browser is ATM more secure then Fennec because of slow update
@relan added the build metadata for Fennec 67.0.3 : Update Fennec F-Droid to 67.0.3 (d337a4a4) · Commits · F-Droid / Data · GitLab
So it should be available in the repository in a few days.
There’s no FENNEC_67_0_4_RELEASE tag (yet?).
It looks like 67.0.4 has only be released for desktop (for now?).
[…] not fair to blame f-droid contributors
Thank you very much for the replies; I apologise if anything in my posts had indicated any sort of hostility!.. Not my intention, at all (!), I get what and how is the whole system. 
Speaking of which, may I also mention how STRANGE F-Droid gets - with certain things disabled on the phone… This is what it looks like, it’ll only sometimes load (some) images and apparently randomly to make it more confusing:
Updating repositories is also an issue, even though NetGuard isn’t blocking much - and it has to be disabled, otherwise nothing gets fetched, at all:
EDIT: Most probably, it is “Spock” - it’s somewhat hard to wrangle this Mi A2 into submission (without rooting. :))
Again, very unfortunate that Mozilla doesn’t build ESR for mobile, btw. 
What does “not blocking much mean”? You need to allow F-Droid or uncheck apply rules.
Works fine with Netguard on multiple devices here for me, so it’s a configuration issue on your side.
Did you slide the Wi-Fi and mobile data sliders in F-Droid Settings all the way to the right?
mobile data
Definitely not mobile data… It’s crazy, had to set “Data limit” to 0 B as not to have it auto-activate under certain conditions. No big deal I guess, haven’t been able to figure out what’s blocking and firewalling what.
The real issue is that F-Droid Fennec is lagging behind again, two minor builds: 68.0.1 and 68.0.2
What are we to do, if anybody knows of plans to keep the build cycle up with releases?

Fennec 68.0.1 never happened; 68.0.2 includes a minor fix and no security patches, see Firefox for Android 68.0.2, See All New Features, Updates and Fixes. I decided to skip 68.0.2.

Hello, Will 68.1 be added?
Already build… But I’m seeing 69 on Desktop already
Mozilla stopped developing Fennec and switched to Fenix. They’ll make only 68.x updates to Fennec now.
As of writing, our build server compiled Fennec 68.1 for arm and x86, currently building arm64.
Riiight, forgot that.
What’s the status on that for F-Droid?
Status? I’ll continue to push Fennec 68.x updates. Someone will have to add Fenix if they want it on F-Droid.
Thank You. You answered all the questions I was going to ask
