"If you're a Firefox user, now is the time to update your browser. A
zero-day vulnerability has been discovered which is being actively
exploited in targeted attacks.

The security hole was revealed via Google's Project Zero, and it affects
ALL versions of Firefox. In short, if you have not updated to Firefox
67.0.3 or Firefox ESR 60.7.1, you need to do so right now."

Hmm, *ALL*.

Nah, I'm never updating from (put old version here) because I don't like
the changes Mozilla has made to Firefox and my malware, antivirus and
other security software I have installed protect me.

;>)

Got the update from the Ubuntu repo this morning. Still using Nightly
69.0a1 as my default browser on Linux and Windows.

Must be an antique.

I built this computer seven years ago with an AMD Athlon II X3 455 Rana
Triple-Core 3.3 GHz Socket AM3 95W ADX455WFGMBOX Desktop Processor, on a
GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD
Motherboard, with G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3
SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL for
$219.97.

Added another 4GB of RAM in 2015 for $28.99.

The bad guys are finding security vulnerabilities that affect all
browsers and fast fixes are required.

I use Nightly and get updates twice a day. Maybe more if there is a
respin to fix something they busted in a previous update.

Oh yeah? Well, my pc is a Poison Apple. It was a fad for a while to
build a custom Windows pc in a Mac G4 case.
