And this is breaking news ?
Oh yes, exceptionaly timely too.
This one is better -- it goes to 12!
I heard that Firefox 12 might have also landed in other distros, but I won't be sure until someone writes some more articles.

It has landed here OK, but for the next 12 hours we are just kicking it, beating it, pinching it in the butt , trowing buckets of ice over it, spraying it with pepper , using electric shocks and more. If it keeps smiling and not crying, it can go tonight.

Serious, the average user won't see any differences. It looks good.
I was joking -- I've been using Iceweasel 12 from mozilla.debian.net since this past Wednesday. ;)
