Firefox 4 series Orphaned? + x86_64 Online Updating
Posted: 23 Jun 2011, 10:51
After checking out the Mozilla Security announcements and related articles yesterday
I seem to remember a statement that further support for Firefox 4.0 may be skipped
and a transition to 5.0 made. Orphaning the v4 series.
With the nicely ciustomized (slackware access plugin) in the next release - could you check to make
sure that it remains possible to update it online to mozilla servers?
AFAIR I tried an online update from 4.0.0 to 4.0.1 in an early RC for x86_64 v1.0 and it didnt work.
The SLAX-remix FireFox 3.6.xx continues to happily update online, a year after it was released...
