Hi,

normally gentoo was quick with security updates for Firefox but it is
almost a month now since 3.0.12 and still the ~ is attached. What's
going on there?


I notice that the ebuild for 3.0.13 was added only yesterday, so my
guess is the maintainer is skipping 3.0.12 because it's already obsolete.
Just a guess, however.

I updated to 3.5.2-r1 yesterday  it works very well.
also, 3.5 is much faster than 3.0 on my older stand-by machine.

My policy is to avoid 'testing' for system or other vital packages,
but use it for well-maintained items like Firefox.
