TenFourFox FPR6 SPR1 coming

Stand by for FPR6 Security Parity Release 1 due to the usual turmoil following Pwn2Own, in which the mighty typically fall and this year Firefox did. We track these advisories and always plan to have a patched build of TenFourFox ready and parallel with Mozilla's official chemspill release; I have already backported the patch and tested it internally.

The bug in question would require a TenFourFox-specific exploit to be useful, but is definitely exploitable, and fortunately was easily repaired. The G5 will chug overnight and have builds tomorrow and heat the rear of the house all at the same time.

  1. LOL, you're right. Whenever I run my G5 in the winter I don't have to turn the thermostat up as it puts out so much heat. Thanks for your hard work on this.

  3. Thank you for the Facebook functionality! All like-forms choosable, reduced lockups (mostly in Messenger dropdowns now), from 0-degree Vermont where even the coolest late 2004 G5 earns its keep in the coldest corner of the room.
