Slackware 10.0: 2004-266-03 Critical: Mozilla 1.7.3 Security Update

Here are the details from the Slackware 10.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/mozilla-1.7.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to mozilla-1.7.3. The Mozilla page says this fixes some "minor security holes". It also breaks Galeon and Epiphany, and new versions of these have still not appeared. In light of this, I think it's time to remove these Gecko-based browsers. The future is going to be Firefox and Thunderbird anyway, and I don't believe Galeon and Epiphany can be compiled against Firefox's libraries. (* Security fix *) [ Philip Langdale of the Galeon project was kind enough to write to tell me that Galeon can be compiled against Mozilla 1.7.3 if this option is used: --with-mozilla-snapshot=1.7.2 The point about Firefox remains though. I don't intend to support the Mozilla suite, a number of browsers that depend on it, and Firefox and Thunderbird. While these are all great projects the goal will be to choose the best one and go with it. ]
