The remote Slackware host is missing a security update. New mozilla-firefox packages are available for Slackware 11.0 and 12.0 to fix security issues. Firefox 1.5.x has reached its EOL and is no longer being updated by mozilla.com. Users of Firefox 1.5.x are encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 2.x. These packages should work equally well on earlier Slackware systems
