Hi everyone,
I started installing the most recent security update for firefox on my
fleet of workstations this morning, and was surprised to see a lot of
seemingly unrelated packages being installed as dependencies. Has this
been your experience as well, or am I doing something dumb? Note that I
do only use the 32-bit vsn of firefox for easier compatibility with
various plugins, but that hasn't ever been a problem in the past.
# yum update firefox
