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

Update to the new upstream Firefox 3.0.6 / XULRunner 1.9.0.6 fixing multiple security issues.. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-1399 2009-02-06 04:16:47 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Name : chmsee Product : Fedora 9 Version : 1.0.1 Release : 8.fc9 URL : Summary : A Gtk+2 CHM document viewer Description : 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 Information: 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.
