However, there are still some security updates for various packages (see; 1., 2.,) So, I would like to ask why Firefox security update to the 53. version was ignored? Some examples: <a href="https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2017/CVE-2017-5462.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2017/CVE-2017-5462.html</a> <a href="https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2017/CVE-2017-5438.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2017/CVE-2017-5438.html</a> This Firefox version fixes many bugs etc. Why it was ignored when another packages has been updated? Will there be an update for Firefox on 12.04 LTS? Thanks, best ragads. ___________________ 1. <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/precise-changes/2017-April/026425.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/precise-changes/2017-April/026425.html</a> 2. <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/precise-changes/2017-April/026428.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/precise-changes/2017-April/026428.html</a> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The latest Firefox release requires GCC 4.9 to build, and we decided that it was not worth the effort to backport a new toolchain in order to provide a new version of Firefox 9 days before the release is officially end-of-life. - Chris > Thanks, best ragads. > ___________________ > 1. > <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/precise-changes/2017-April/026425.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/precise-changes/2017-April/026425.html</a> > 2. > <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/precise-changes/2017-April/026428.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/precise-changes/2017-April/026428.html</a> > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
