[notify] firefox: updated to 63.0
firefox 63 will be the last firefox version released by me. Starting from firefox 64 I will replace firefox with the official binary build.
This will have multiple advantages: We will avoid the endless buildtime horrorshow that has forced us to depend on stuff like rust, clang and starting with firefox 64: nodejs, which was my personal breaking point.
List of notable obsolete dependencies include rust, clang and autoconf-2.13.
Ahem! Building firefox 63 fails on my side. The build stops early during dependencies checking:
checking for cbindgen... not found [followed by messages of attempts at recovery]
I'll wait for firefox 64... ;)
Don't wait - lots of unknown security fixes :-) I think I've forgotten to introduce cbindgen - a new dep for 63.0. I had it on my build system when testing the beta and thus missed it when i did the final test-build. I'll push both a firefox-bin and cbindgen port in a few hours to opt. /Fredrik
