14 DAY TRIAL // We’re happy to report that the recently released Mozilla Firefox 36.0 web browser and Mozilla Thunderbird 31.5.0 email and news client are now available in the main software repositories of the Arch Linux computer operating system.
Other GNU/Linux OSes might have also received the latest Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird updates, so please be kind to drop a comment below in the attempt to inform our readers.
All Arch Linux users can update their Mozilla Firefox and/or Thunderbird applications today, using the built-in package manager of the distribution (e.g. sudo pacman -Syu). Those who are using the Yaourt package manager can update their Arch Linux distro with the yaourt -Syua command, which will also update packages from AUR (Arch User Repository).
With this occasion, we remind everyone that Mozilla Firefox 36.0 adds full support for the brand-new HTTP/2 network protocol and it can now sync pinned tiles from the NewTab page. It also removes the -remote option, adds DOM Promises inspection, implements unicode-range CSS descriptor, improves add-on compatibility, deprecates support for certificates with 1024-bit RSA keys, adds Uzbek translation, and no longer accepts insecure RC4 ciphers.
On the hand, as reported by Softpedia, the Mozilla Thunderbird 31.5.0 email and news client fixes two critical bugs and one high vulnerability in the previous version of the software, 31.4.0. Therefore, all users are urged to update to the new release of Thunderbird as soon as possible.
