About This Version
Known Issues:
Due to the way Firefox saves usernames and passwords for visited web sites, IS&T strongly advises that you set a master password to protect your certificates and any stored passwords.
To receive automatic updates to Firefox and your Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system, register for and use the Red Hat Network Update Services.
