Summary

Kazehakase is a Web browser which aims to provide

a user interface that is truly user-friendly & fully customizable.

This package uses Gecko for HTML rendering engine.

Update to the new upstream Firefox 3.0.7 / XULRunner 1.9.0.7 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.
