The recent Mozilla Firefox patch for Slackware resolves a critical vulnerability, enhancing online safety for its users.
New mozilla-firefox packages are available for Slackware 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, and -current to fix a possible security bug

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 12.0 ChangeLog: xap/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.14-i686-1.tgz: Upgraded to firefox-2.0.0.14. This upgrade fixes a potential security bug. 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 directly 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.
