  Sorry, this isn’t a question, but an alert. I was just about to recommend Browse Happy to someone for the new Firefox and when I clicked on it to check the version number, I saw that it says version 16. Version 16 has a bug in it. Please read this news report in which Firefox say they’ve withdrawn that version for now:

  I don’t know who to contact on WordPress.org who I presume are responsible for Browse Happy, so maybe staff here can do that?

  I’m going to modlook this so that staff look at it.

  Thanks for the update! Since Mozilla has pulled the release, there’s no immediate danger.

  Chances are good that Mozilla will release a fixed build before this listing on Browser Happy is updated, but I have notified the folks.

  Well, that was quick. :)

  Firefox 16.0.1 is out.

  Good to hear. I think I’ll let the new version run a few days before I chance it myself!
