firefox-66.0.2

[Douglas R. Reno]

New point version

    Fixed Web compatibility issues with Office 365, iCloud and IBM WebMail caused by recent changes to the handling of keyboard events (Bug 1538966)

    Crash fixes (bug 1521370, bug 1539118)

[ken@…]

1521370 claims to be about windows 10 (after an upgrade of that), and to apply to several past versions. Apparently related to vp8/vp9 (video codecs). I do wonder if the youtube crashes I was seeing on one machine with 66.0 when enabling alsa might be related, but since that system is now working fine with 66.0.1 I do not have a reproducible test case.

1539118 : "There's one more crash left in Canvas with CreateBrushForPattern."

No details about what is likely to prompt the crash. Again, the problem I had in 66.0 might be related.

I cannot imagine that BLFS users are using office 365, icloud, or IBM WebMail.

Unless firefox-66.0.1 is crashing for BLFS users, I see no reason to spend time on this.

Us college / university have to use Office 365 for our school email. Also, anyone who owns an iOS device will be affected by the iCloud problem.

If this isn't done by the time I'm finished with GNOME, I can take care of it
