Re: Mozilla Firefox 16.0.1 Final It did update to 16.0.1. In the about:support page, on the line that says user agent, it shows 16.0 at the end. So the browser id's itself as 16.0 to web servers. |

Got it in updated Mac OS X 10.7.5 and Windows XP Pro. SP3 through Firefox v16.0.0's internal updaters. Is it me or did it give the whole installers (Mac OS X's 32 MB and Windows' 22 MB!)?  |

Good question, Pentangle 
It's a matter of choice. For software as important as my secondary Browser, the last place I would go as a primary source would not be Major Greeks nor File Hippo but that's just me. |

Links have been posted, you should be able to fetch it via the infernal updater but not File Hippo nor Major Greeks, the latter especially. |

Re: Mozilla Firefox 16.0.1 Final I used to post the MVPS Hosts to Major Greeks discusion board. It was constantly deleted, why ?
Sites like Major Greeks are a cash cow for third party ads - bar none !!
As I said already, important software like a Browser should be downloaded at source and nowhere else. |

kudos:3 | I just tried it, I didn't get the weird logout issue with DSLR, but it didn't tell me I was up to date either, just brought me back here.
Now that I've thought about it, I have it set to alert me to updates and I don't think it ever has, not even once. When I look at Show Update History in options, it's blank, like I've never updated FF. |

Fx 10.0.9 ESR is not yet available at least via internal updater. Mozilla says it was released on Oct 11 but I can't get it.

One of the reasons I chose FF as my default browser on my iMac box was because with my monitor resolution set at its maximum I could use the keyboard to "expand" the website or screen content to fill most of the screen with readable size text or fonts and FF would remember the increase. I didn't have to do it each and every time I went to the website, even after closing and reopening FF. Not now with the new version. Bummer. |

| Thanks for the tip but even though I understand the foundation of your message. I have no idea how to do or get to where you refer to in your post. By the way in your instructions, just to be clear, I'm talking about FF for Mac--so the interface of controls or help features and preferences is different than Windows.
Thanks again. |

Thanks again.
Type about:config in the address bar/enter. You will get a warning box, click the "I'll be careful, I promise" button. That will bring you to what therube is talking about. Scroll down or *search* for the line he indicated to check whether it's set to true or false. Left click on it to toggle between true/false. Be careful not to accidently change anything else. Not sure if it's different in FF for Mac, but give it a try.

Here is the exploit that affected 16.0, though its POC looks to be dead?
Firefox knows what your friends did last summer
There are two associated Mozilla bugs listed in the advisory, but (at least at the moment) neither are accessible to us peons.
Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory 2012-89 - defaultValue security checks not applied
This also looks to have been fixed in 16.0.1:
Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory 2012-88 - Miscellaneous memory safety hazards
"The Possible Impact of the Flaw
It's possible to craft code that would have the browser present the full URL paths that were visited by users, NSS Labs' Artes said. That would let hackers see what users were searching on the sites they visited.
"Additionally, with some regex work, you can have the browser provide you with usernames used on the websites," Artes said Some proof-of-concept code has been posted that displays the ability to pull cached usernames.
The historical information that can be obtained by exploiting this flaw can be used to target ad placement and other uses of this metadata regarding customers, Artes suggested.
The vulnerability doesn't let hackers see the server and domain names of other sites users have visited, Artes remarked. "
