[blfs-book] r20117 - in trunk/BOOK: introduction/welcome xsoft/graphweb

[ken--- via blfs-book]

New Revision: 20117

Log:
Firefox on e.g. youtube is broken with ffmpeg-4.0.0 - thanks to Brendan L for 
the notification and testing, and to Markku Pesonen. It seems likely that 
seamonkey may also need a similar fix, but I will leave that to someone who 
uses that package.
