# 06/09/2019: Firefox updated to 69.0
I thought Firefox 69.0 would not be possible on KISS due to the new
unconditional dependency on `dbus`. I have written a patch which removes
this dependency and allows us to build it again!
Firefox 69.0 introduces something called `audio_thread_priority` and
from what I understand it's a way to prioritize audio threads when
needed. This entire "feature" works using `dbus` to do IPC on Linux
and subsequently breaks the `--disable-dbus` configure flag.
The patch I have written disables `audio_thread_priority` and in turn
causes audio to work the same as it did in 68.0 and below.
