Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Update to the new upstream Firefox release 2.0.0.19 fixing multiple security issues: http://www.mozilla.org/security/known- vulnerabilities/firefox20.html#firefox2.0.0.19 This update also contains new builds of all applications depending on Gecko libraries, built against the new version. Note: after the updated packages are installed, Firefox must be restarted for the update to take effect.
