Firefox and xulrunner sources are identical: unpack both firefox 3.6.10 and xulrunner 1.9.2.10 sources and diff the resulting directories. Though the tarballs differ due to compression differences, the sources are exactly the same. If mozilla releases a security update for firefox, I want to have a matching xulrunner security release, as bugs in the javascript engine in firefox also affect bugs in the javascript engine used by xulrunner applications. The latest firefox release at this moment is 3.6.12, which fixes a 0day vulnerability, where the latest xulrunner source available is 1.9.2.10. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
