Fedora 9: 2009-1399 Moderate: Chmsee and Firefox Security Fixes

A gtk2 chm document viewer.

It uses chmlib to extract files. It uses gecko to display pages. It supports

displaying multilingual pages due to gecko. It features bookmarks and tabs.

The tabs could be used to jump inside the chm file conveniently. Its UI is

clean and handy, also is well localized. It is actively developed and

maintained. The author of chmsee is Jungle Ji and several other great people.

Hint

* Unlike other chm viewers, chmsee extracts files from chm file, and then read

and display them. The extracted files could be found in $HOME/.chmsee/bookshelf

directory. You can clean those files at any time and there is a special config

option for that.

* The bookmark is related to each file so not all bookmarks will be loaded,

only current file's.

* Try to remove $HOME/.chmsee if you encounter any problem after an upgrade.

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. Note: after the updated packages are installed, Firefox must be

restarted for the update to take effect.
