I'll probably see a Slackware update coming down the line for this ESR in the next few days. Thanks, Corrine for the info.

OK, updated Firefox to 68.10.0 in Slackware.

 

Also, TOR Browser (based on FF ESR) updated.

Mozilla sent Firefox Version 78.0.1 to the release channel today due the rollout of Version 78.0 needing to be stopped because of a bug that some users of the browser experienced after installation of the new version.

In addition, the security updates that were included in version 78.0 were finally published.  That update included thirteen (13) security updates of which seven are high, four are moderate and two low in severity.

Hmm... wonder if this re-issue will affect the ESR versions, too.

I don't think so. I updated to 68.10 after 78.0.1 was released.

Mozilla sent Firefox Version 78.0.2 to the release channel today.  The update includes one security update rated moderate.
