Firefox 31 released

Thanks once again to organizations like CERT and SANS, this morning I was alerted to a new version of Firefox.

Version 31 includes fixes for security vulnerabilities and other bugs, and adds several features, none of which is likely to be of much interest to anyone except developers.

There’s a post on the Mozilla blog that seems to be about the new Firefox, although it’s difficult to know for sure since the new version is never actually mentioned. New version announcements for Firefox are still terrible.

The official release notes for the new version are still woefully inadequate. Notable security fixes in Firefox 31 are listed on the Security Advisories (aka Known Vulnerabilities) page.

Jeff Rivett has worked with and written about computers since the early 1980s. His first computer was an Apple II+, built by his father and heavily customized. Jeff's writing appeared in Computist Magazine in the 1980s, and he created and sold a game utility (Ultimaker 2, reviewed in the December 1983 Washington Apple Pi Journal) to international markets during the same period. Proceeds from writing, software sales, and contract programming gigs paid his way through university, earning him a Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) degree at UWO. Jeff went on to work as a programmer, sysadmin, and manager in various industries. There's more on the About page, and on the Jeff Rivett Consulting site.
