Thank you for Firefox 16!

Was pleasantly surprised to find Firefox 16.0 available today. It has yet to reach the Slackware 13.37 Patches repo, AFAICT. Thanks, gapan!

Shortly after the release of the newest major version of Firefox
"Mozilla has removed Firefox 16 from its installer page due to security vulnerabilities that, if exploited, could allow 'a malicious site to potentially determine which websites users have visited' ... one temporary work-around, until a fix is released, is to downgrade to 15.0.1"

Jeez, thanks for the update, witek. Sounds like a vulnerability that I could live with, but will look into this in depth.

Packages for 16.0.1 are now up.

Got it. Thanks again.
