2007-07-25
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Sander Nyman <2sanderDESPAM@DESPAMsbcglobal.net>
Michael Kaply has released Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.5 (Official) for OS/2.
This release is a security update, fixing 8 vulnerabilities, 3 of which are
rated critical.
You can download it here:
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.5/contrib/firefox-2.0.0.5.en-US.os2.zip
NOTE: This release requires the C runtime DLLs from Innotek. Version
0.5.1 includes an installer. Available here:
http://download.innotek.de/gccos2/runtime/libc-0.5.1.exe
NOTE: This release requires IPLUGINW.DLL to use the Java and Flash
plugins. Available here:
http://e-vertise.com/warpzilla/ipluginw20050915.xpi
or here:
http://download.innotek.de/javaos2/mozilla/ipluginw20050915.xpi
NOTE: To have both Firefox, & Thunderbird in use at the same time (or ANY
other Mozilla app) they *MUST* be at the SAME version level, or a
mismatched DLL will still be in memory when you attempt to start a second
Mozilla based program. The easiest way to get around this limitation, and
use DIFFERENT version levels of Firefox, Thunderbird, Kompozer, etc., is
with Rich Walsh's Run! utility. It is tiny, and VERY easy to set up. To
make life even easier, I HIGHLY recommend that you download & use the
Internet Application Integration utility from Chuck McKinnis, which
actually contains the Run! utility, and sets it up for you, along with
coordinating your web browser with your email client for "mailto" links,
etc. You can find it here:
http://7cities.net/~mckinnis/code/iai1050.exe
Or, if you'd rather do it yourself, here is the Run! utility:
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/wps/run_060.zip
Firefox extensions (add-ons) that add new functionality are available here:
https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/?application=firefox
Firefox themes (skins) are available here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/themes/?application=firefox

| SW: Firefox 2.0.0.6 clarification |
2007-07-31
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Sander Nyman <2sanderdDESPAM@DESPAMsbcglobal.net>
Firefox 2.0.0.6 was released my Mozilla yesterday. The reason for the
quick follow up to 2.0.0.5 was a security vulnerability deemed critical.
The vulnerability does not relate to OS/2 however, making an OS/2 release
unnecessary.
