The latest firefox has now been released, but their process for offering the source has changed (not a surprise to me, they've been doing this for the 59 betas) -
The SOURCE file at https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/59.0/SOURCE is just some text telling you where to get the source. For the .tar.bz2 that is https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/archive/c61f5f5ead48c78a80c80db5c489bdc7cfaf8175.tar.bz2 And if I use wget the default filename is c61f5f5ead... .tar.bz2 but the directory within it is mozilla-release-c61f5f5ead.../ Fine if you have a wide screen in which to read the book ;) I suggest that we recommend using wget so that we can change the filename, but I'm ambivalent about whether we should make the name firefox-59.0.tar.bz2 or mozilla-release-c61f5f5ead... ? In either case, the book will need to note that the tarball creates a directory called mozilla-release-c61f5f5ead... (and I'm inclined to use dots rather than write out all 40 hex digits, except in the link).
