OK, I just updated my two CentOS 5 boxes (my laptop and by desktop) and discoved that FF 31 is totally borked -- it seems not to be possible to install either Firebug (either 2.0.4 or 1.12.8) or Firefox 2, the theme reloaded (1.0.8). These two addons are critical to me. So I have snaged the FF 24.8.0 rpms from the CentOS 5 vault and downgraded to this version and blocked further updates of FF.
Where is the best place to report this problem?

I was going to post about this earlier, but got distracted ...
Add-ons are totally broken on C5/ff31. All of them download, some of them continue to install (without the installation progress bar showing any signs of it), and for most add-ons, nothing happens after that. Sometimes, the add-on will install when the manual installation option is selected and the downloaded /tmp/xxx.xpi file chosen, but most of the time this does not work either. This also prevents updating of add-ons.
What does seem to work is to log into a C6 box to install add-ons, no such problems there.

Good, at least its not my fault, this time :)

firefox-31.2.0-3.el5.centos is still broken, as is upstream's package. The bug report has already been updated.
What is also broken, again, is thunderbird calendaring, with the upgrade to thunderbird-31.2.0-2.el5.centos. I presume it's the same issue from tb24, http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2013-December/139325.html. No choice now but blocking this upgrade and going back to tb24, until an equivalent SRPM for lightning 3.3.1 becomes available.
In a somehow unrelated vein, does anyone know if there's going to be an OpenJDK update to address newest Java vulnerability? Can't seem to find one at the moment.

There were java updates for c5 and c7 on the 15th (2 days ago). Not sure if it addresses the issue you are asking about or not.
I also have those building for c6, but they are on top of 6.6 so will be released in 6.5/CR repo. I don't like to estimate dates (as something unexpected could happen), but I expect the 6.5/CR stuff to be out by Tuesday of next week.
There is also a java-1.8.0-openjdk in 6.6 as well.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
Johnny,
Yes. We've got some 6.5 boxes, so that's why we asked. The few 5.10/.11 boxes did get the updates, so that's why we were curious. Thanks for the info.
