Firefox 32.0 released

A new version of Firefox was released yesterday, with the usual complete lack of any kind of proper announcement. The only thing posted on the Mozilla blog (“the official source for Mozilla-related news, opinions, events and more”) yesterday was this post about Firefox for Android.

On a more positive note, the release notes for Firefox are looking better. It looks like my insistent prodding has led to some action, because the Firefox 32.0 release notes page now has a page title that includes the version, and the topmost heading also includes the version.

Firefox 32 includes fixes for at least six security vulnerabilities, so anyone using Firefox should update it as soon as possible. Version 32 also improves performance, and adds some minor features, including changes to the page context (right-click) menu.

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.
