Mr. Hughes, Thank very much for the update! That's the kind of info I was looking for, if an ETA isn't reasonable to ask for. I can report a summary of your note to my upstream authorities. I support both SL7 and C7 workstations, but had not yet seen the update on the sl-devel list. I appreciate you taking the time to answer this thread! Thanks for your hard work!

They both (C6 and C7 versions) require many non OS tools to build. For CentOS-7 .. we need the rust-toolset, llvm-toolset, and devtoolset-7, to get the firefox to build. For CentOS-6, we need less items (no llvm-toolset required .. all the rest is required). But, there is no released source code for the EL6 version of rust-devtoolset upstream. I am working on this now .. but we had the 6.10 release and the also 32 other items that dropped for CentOS-7 (both of which are now done). I am not the only one having issues with Firefox-60 (see this thread on the Scientific Linux list): https://listserv.fnal.gov/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind1807&L=scientific-linux-devel&D=0&P=74 I hope to have this working soon .. but. it is not just a build and release kind of package. Thanks, Johnny Hughes
