Firefox updated

[LinuxUser01]

I was honestly waiting for 19.0.1, which would surely come out a few days or so after I packaged 19.0.  But it is simple to update, and since there are some tangible reasons to update to 19.0 I will go ahead and  do it.

Firefox 19.0.1 is suppose to only address Windows 8 users and doesn't have any newer updates from 19.0 for the Linux users. Thanks for uploading Firefox 19.0 today.


Windows 8 only: Fixed stability issue for some AMD Radeon HD graphics cards.

Firefox just released version 19.0.2 only to address a security issue.

Title: Use-after-free in HTML Editor
Impact: Critical
Announced: March 7, 2013

Description

VUPEN Security, via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative, reported a use-after-free within the HTML editor when content script is run by the document.execCommand() function while internal editor operations are occurring. This could allow for arbitrary code execution.

I am just replying here, so it falls into my "show new replies posts" when others reply, and LinuxUser01 is already aware we will try for v
21 on another post.

I plan to be the maintainer of Firefox

Firefox is a big download so if you can afford the download, expect big updates to be a part of that decision.
For those who can not afford big downloads can I suggest you search for tags = browser and check the size TAB for the total.
Current Firefox total is over 40 Mb

thanks for reading

If you agree, can this post be moved to extension requests, as that appears to be its main function?
I forgot I posted here.
So I posted in the extn request area to let ppl know I had submitted v 22 the other day.

while looking for an alternative way to print to paper a pdf file,
I just discovered, by accident, my best way 

firefox 22 (and probably earlier) can view PDF files

and print

it was the print function that I was after

one happy test completed

[LinuxUser01]

They implemented the built-in PDF viewer in version 19.

Great moderators

Can you un-sticky this post please.

coreplayer2 supplies firefox-latest.tcz in either 32 or 64 bit flavours, which IMHO is a smarter way to go.
--saves downstream maintainers having to submit a new TCZ each time there is a new  release.

Done.
