Hi Bryan,

It was years ago, so my memory is a bit challenged, but my recollection
was that I posted to Red Hat's bugzilla a couple of times with the Cert
exploit and all.  I got ignored.   And they did not just forget to update
the bugzilla as I saw no updates of any kind go through.  What I took
from the experience was this is not something to waste your time on.

My technical opinion: I would not run an out dated browser.  The security
danger you place yourself in does not merit any perceived stability
advantage of an older version.   I part company with Red Hat on this
one.  (Mozilla.org's binaries work fine.)
