Unfortunately, the 3 I just ordered are still from the old inventory...they were just delivered a week ago. I should have waited for the old ones to "flush out", first. They don't even have the new mounting holes, which I was hoping for. Good stuff. I'll have to test out my current card: SanDisk 16GB class 10. I'll send you the results. > > Are the xulrunner issues applicable without Java or Flash? > > Either way, I'll see what I can do to get a new Firefox rolled out sooner > rather than later. >From a web page describing the issue: Description XULRunner provides the XUL Runtime environment for applications using the Gecko layout engine. A flaw was found in the way XULRunner handled security wrappers. A web page containing malicious content could possibly cause an application linked against XULRunner (such as Mozilla Firefox) to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2012-4193) For technical details regarding this flaw, refer to the Mozilla security advisories. You can find a link to the Mozilla advisories in the References section of this erratum. Red Hat would like to thank the Mozilla project for reporting this issue. Upstream acknowledges moz_bug_r_a4 as the original reporter. All XULRunner users should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct this issue. After installing the update, applications using XULRunner must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
