Rudi will be happy to know that Firefox now supports Ruby.

Got it, thanks, Hans.
A little cleaner Options setup.

StuartR pointed out that version 38.0.1 has been released. See the Release Notes.

(A video that refused to play for me in 38.0 does work in 38.0.1)

Actually, the newest release is 38.0.1

[HansV]

Yes - isn't that what I wrote in the reply above yours?

[Rudi]

I think Bob was seeing 42 when he answered

[BobH]

Sorry, Hans.

I didn't read carefully enough. Just wanted to be sure that everyone new that the 0.1 update was out.

To add to all these releases, between Firefox 38 on 12 May and Firefox 39 on 30th June, Mozilla are planning a special release Firefox 38.0.5 (some are calling it 38.1) due on 2nd June.

This release is for a small number of new features:
Reader view - can be used with blog posts and articles to give just the article you want to read without all the clutter you normally see on a web page
Pocket integration - keep track of articles and videos you want to view later. This gives Firefox built-in integration with this service - http://getpocket.com/blog/2012/04/intro ... ed-pocket/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Expands upon the functionality of the Hello conversation feature to allow people to share the active tab or window. I don't use Hello but this is what Mozilla say about it - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/hello/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Mozilla may change what is in 38.0.5 depending upon testing of these features.
Personally I don't think I will have much use, if any, for these new features.

Thanks, Tony!
