Firefox 58 beta fixes Meltdown and Spectre timing attacks

Hi,

You can download and install the latest Firefox 58 beta which fixes several vulnerabilities including Meltdown and Spectre timing attacks through the web browser.

Some information :

I just built a binary package, available here : mozilla-firefox-58.0b14-x86_64-180105.txz

Package works for Zenwalk and, of course : Slackware.



All the best
