Another Mozilla Firefox Update, Version 33.1 Released

Mozilla sent Firefox Version 33.1 to the release channel.  The update includes a number of new items and lists several known issues.

It appears that this update is to celebrate 10 years of Firefox.  It seems a rather artificial celebration since evolution of the name to Firefox was based on a trademark dispute and brand confusion.  (Yes, I started with Phoenix (2002), renamed Firebird (2003) and finally Firefox (2004).  Having become disenchanted with the "Rapid Release Program", I have changed to Pale Moon as my primary browser.)
