We’re pleased to announce the release of Firefox 6, Thunderbird 6, and
Seamonkey 2.3.

Note: the first releases of these apps had a bug that has now been
corrected. If your app’s files are dated 2011-08-19, please
obtain the revised version dated 2011-08-21. We apologize for
the inconvenience.

Stability
---------
We believe these releases may be the fastest and most stable versions
yet. However, their stability on SMP systems can be greatly improved
by installing an updated copy of tcpip32.dll created by Steve Levine.
The file, along with details on what it fixes and how to install it,
is available from:
http://class='extlink'e-vertise.com/misc/tcpip32-safe.zip

Support
-------
Community support for all of the Mozilla apps is available through
the newsgroups ’mozilla.dev.ports.os2’ or ’comp.os.os2.apps’.
Messages posted to other forums may not be seen by the developers.

Steve Levine has released a patched version of tcpip32.dll that should
prevent the crashes many people have when using the Mozilla apps. The
patched dll and documentation is available from:

http://class='extlink'http://e-vertise.com/misc/tcpip32-safe.zip

The patch is intended to make this dll multi-thread and SMP safe. It
adds no new code; it simply redirects calls made to unsafe routines
and routes them to safe versions that were already present in the dll.

The patched dll is recommended for those using SMP systems but can be
used with any machine. It is based on the version of tcpip32.dll that
is included with eCS 2.x (2004-05-21 11:15 98,611). It may be com-
patible with earlier versions of this dll but that has not been tested.

Questions or problem reports should be sent to:

KO Myung-Hun has released an update to the VLC media player on Hobbes.

 The cross-platform open-source multimedia framework, player and server VLC media player is a highly portable multimedia player and multimedia framework capable of reading most audio and video formats (MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, DivX, MPEG-1, mp3, ogg, aac ...) as well as DVDs (including menus), Audio CDs VCDs, and various streaming protocols. Read the readme.eng for installation instructions. I’ve successfully run this on my T61 with eCS 2.0. It is great to be able to play DVDs and even use the DVD menu. This package includes the source.
