July 19, 2007
New mozilla-firefox packages are available for Slackware 11.0 and 12.0 to fix security issues
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 12.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.5-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to firefox-2.0.0.5. This upgrade fixes a couple of minor security bugs. Nobody here is launching Firefox from Internet Explorer, right? :-) For more information, see: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities/ (* Security fix *)

Where Find New Packages
HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
from ftp.slackware.com.
Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(https://osuosl.org/) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project! :-)
Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://www.slackware.com/ for
additional mirror sites near you.
