Fedora 36 Advisory: Icecat Critical Fix for Firefox 2022-42ea499a7d

GNU IceCat is the GNU version of the Firefox ESR browser.

Extensions included to this version of IceCat:

* LibreJS

GNU LibreJS aims to address the JavaScript problem described in the article

"The JavaScript Trap" of Richard Stallman.

* HTTPS Everywhere

HTTPS Everywhere is an extension that encrypts your communications with

many major websites, making your browsing more secure.

* ViewTube

Watch videos from video sharing websites with extra options.

* A set of companion extensions for LibreJS by Nathan Nichols

are pre-installed, and provide workarounds to use some services at USPS,

RSF.org, SumOfUs.org, pay.gov, McDonalds, goteo.org and Google Docs

without using nonfree JavaScript.

* A series of configuration changes and tweaks were applied to ensure that

IceCat does not initiate network connections that the user has not explicitly

requested. This implies not downloading feeds, updates, blacklists or any

other similar data needed during startup.

This update provides the latest release of Firefox, with many bug fixes

including critical security issues. It also includes updates to gcc and annobin

which were necessary to build Firefox, with the following fixes: * fix up

promoted SUBREG handling (#2045160, PR rtl-optimization/104839) * fix up check

for asm goto (PR rtl-optimization/104777) * Upstream bugs
