The latest versions of firefox (78.10.0esr and 88.0 were released

I've updated all my recent systems to the current version, and when

I'm getting ready for next week's release of firefox-78.9.0 by

I've been looking at one or two things which seem a bit odd in my

Yesterday mozilla released firefox-78.7.1 with a security fix
described as Critical. It has now been clarified that this only
applied to Windows systems. Therefore, if you have not already

I've hit this several times during my current attempt to use jhalfs
