Release Notes

I doubt @V.T. Eric Layton will rush to get this update. 

[V.T. Eric Layton]

Heh! I haven't even upgraded to 108 yet.

[V.T. Eric Layton]

OK... all up-to-date as of about 5 minutes ago. What this means is, now that Mozilla knows I've upgraded, they'll be releasing another version in about 10 minutes or so.

Meh. I'm on 102.6.0 ESR. Don't care much for this Shiny New Stuff syndrome.

Heh! Me, neither, usually. However, my old version 14.2 of Slackware was running a really OLD ESR version a couple years back and this fellow over at LinuxQuestions.org created this great script for d-loading, building, and upgrading to the current version of FF, so I tried it. It's been working wonderfully for every upgrade since that first one. Can't complain.

 

He's also created a similar script to upgrade to the current version of Thunderbird, but I haven't had the intestinal fortitude to try that one just yet. I like my old boring T-bird version (68.12.0).
