L.S./Hi guys
Just read about the reported (minor) Firefox 16 security vulnerability https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2012/ ... irefox-16/.
Will you guys keep (offering) FFv16 in the (buntu) repo? I see it's still being offered when I updated Maya.

Hello, seba.
Hm, just a few minutes ago I have received Firefox 16.0.1.
I do hope this is the fixed version....

Telling from the Launchpad comment here, this is the bug-fixed release.

Re: Whatś the Mint take on the FF16 security vulnerability
Hi, martywd.
Telling from the original bug description, yes, F.F. 16.0.1 fixes the bug(s). And the official repositories by now offer F.F. 16.0.1.
I.e. F.F. 16.0 holds the bugs, but provided your Firefox confirms it is version 16.0.1 then you are using the fixed version.
