-## How to update a non-minimzed forge.js
-1) Checkout the needed tag, e.g.
-```
-git clone -b v1.3.1 https://github.com/digitalbazaar/forge
+## How to update forge.js and forge.mjs
+
+Both `forge.js` and `forge.mjs` need to be rebuilt when updating node-forge to a new version.
+
+### 1) Clone the forge repository at the desired version
+
+```bash
+git clone -b v1.3.2 https://github.com/digitalbazaar/forge
 cd forge
 ```
 
-2) In `webpack.config.js` add a line `devtool: 'cheap-module-source-map'` for the plain unoptimized unminified bundle configuration similar to what there is in the optimized and minified bundle configuration.
+Replace `v1.3.2` with the desired version tag.
 
-3) Build the package
-```
-sudo apt install webpack
+### 2) Install dependencies
+
+```bash
 npm install
+```
+
+### 3) Build forge.js (UMD bundle with source maps)
+
+In `webpack.config.js`, add a line `devtool: 'cheap-module-source-map'` in the plain unoptimized unminified bundle configuration (around line 82), similar to what exists in the optimized bundle configuration.
+
+Then build:
+
+```bash
 npm run build
 ```
 
-4) A newly-generated `forge.js` should appear in `dist` subfolder, copy it over the file in this repo.
+Copy `dist/forge.js` to `extension/lib/forge.js` in this repository.
+
+### 4) Build forge.mjs (ES module)
+
+Since `node-forge` uses webpack and has Node.js built-ins that can be tricky to bundle with rollup for the browser, the most stable way to generate the ES module is to convert the already-built `forge.js`.
+
+Create a script `convert-forge-to-mjs.js`:
+
+```javascript
+const fs = require('fs');
+const path = require('path');
+
+const sourceFile = path.join(__dirname, 'dist', 'forge.js');
+const targetFile = path.join(__dirname, 'dist', 'forge.mjs');
+
+console.log('Reading forge.js...');
+let content = fs.readFileSync(sourceFile, 'utf8');
+
+// Split content into lines
+const lines = content.split('\n');
+
+// Find where the webpack bundle starts
+// It starts with the webpack bootstrap function
+let startLine = lines.findIndex(line => line.includes('/******/ (function(modules) { // webpackBootstrap'));
+
+if (startLine === -1) {
+  throw new Error('Could not find webpack bundle start');
+}
+
+// Find the end - the webpack bundle ends with "/******/ });"
+// This closes the modules object passed to the bootstrap function
+let endLine = -1;
+for (let i = lines.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
+  if (lines[i].trim() === '/******/ });') {
+    endLine = i + 1; // Include this line
+    break;
+  }
+}
+
+if (endLine === -1) {
+  throw new Error('Could not find bundle end');
+}
+
+console.log(`Extracting lines ${startLine} to ${endLine}`);
+
+// Extract just the webpack bundle
+const bundleLines = lines.slice(startLine, endLine);
+
+// Remove 'return ' from the first line if present (from UMD wrapper)
+// The line looks like: return /******/ (function(modules) { // webpackBootstrap
+bundleLines[0] = bundleLines[0].replace(/^\s*return\s+/, '');
+
+// Prepend 'var forge = ' to capture the return value
+bundleLines[0] = 'var forge = ' + bundleLines[0];
+
+const bundle = bundleLines.join('\n');
+
+// Create ES module wrapper
+const esModule = `const globalThis = typeof window !== 'undefined' ? window : typeof global !== 'undefined' ? global : typeof self !== 'undefined' ? self : {};
+
+var commonjsGlobal = typeof globalThis !== 'undefined' ? globalThis : typeof window !== 'undefined' ? window : typeof global !== 'undefined' ? global : typeof self !== 'undefined' ? self : {};
+
+${bundle}
+
+var lib = forge;
+
+export { lib as default };
+`;
+
+console.log('Writing forge.mjs...');
+fs.writeFileSync(targetFile, esModule, 'utf8');
+```
+
+Run the script:
+
+```bash
+node convert-forge-to-mjs.js
+```
+
+Copy `dist/forge.mjs` to `extension/lib/forge.mjs` in this repository.
