Fedora 10: galeon-2.0.7-5 critical: Firefox Security Update

Galeon is a web browser built around Gecko (Mozilla's rendering

engine) and Necko (Mozilla's networking engine). It's a GNOME web

browser, designed to take advantage of as many GNOME technologies as

makes sense. Galeon was written to do just one thing - browse the web.

Update to the new upstream Firefox 3.0.6 / XULRunner 1.9.0.6 fixing multiple

security issues: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox-3.0/ This update also contains new

builds of all applications depending on Gecko libraries, built against the new

version, including the latest google gadgets upstream release. See

;r=1087 for details. Note:

after the updated packages are installed, Firefox must be restarted for the

update to take effect.
