Yay for Firefox!

Why is the security fix the only change with no details

[–] ChrisFhey@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Possibly because not everyone updates immediately, and therefore the security flaw could still be abused.

[–] 8BitFriendly@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe because it makes no sense to tell people about vulnerabilities in the code (even if they were fixed)?

[–] AccidentalLemming@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's open source.

I know, but still, you don't point people to the code that is vulnerable for attacks. If you want to know more, you need to look on Bugzilla by yourself.

Even though it is the last official version for it, good to see they are still fixing Windows 7 bugs.

And they will continue to do it for a while, for the ESR version
