Hi all!
I had Firefox-1.0.4 on my fc4 installation, and just did a "yum
update firefox". Upon success I now have 1.0.8.
Visiting mozilla.org I see that the current version of firefox is
1.5.0 which fixes certain security issues.
I further note there are version numbers and release numbers.
Could somebody shed some light on the relationship between fedora
versions vis a vis mozilla versions/releases?
Don't like running things that may have security issues :(
Thank you,
Mike Wright
1.0.8 was released after 1.5.0 and probably contains the same
security fixes.
As for why 1.5.0 isn't in FC5, it has dependencies (don't remember
what the big one was, GCC or GTK or something) that would require you
to basically have to upgrade to FC5.

Not true! I'm running 1.5.0.4 on an FC3 system. Works fine.

Well I mean for them to package it with the packages for FC4. Otherwise
they would have.
-Dan
But Firefoxes site can package it and it runs on FC4.
I think it has more to do with all the RH changes.
Heck, FC6 will be out in a few months, just wait for it. :)
