CentOS has the latest ESR version of Firefox (24.3.0) that gets security updates and it will always be the ESR version, so it will always get security updates and always move forward. So, moving forward and supported. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/faq/ This firefox should be relevant, do almost everything the new one does, and be supportable within an organization. In fact, Mozilla chose to work with Enterprise Linux groups while Google basically thumbed their noses at the prospect. Why can't an always moving forward branch of Firefox work for you? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
