It is well understood that old and unmaintained software tends to be abreeding ground for security problems. These problems are never welcome, but theyare particularly worrying when the software in question is a net-facingtool like a web browser. Standalone browsers are (hopefully) reasonablywell maintained, but those are not the only web browsers out there; theycan also be embedded into applications. The effort to do away with oneunmaintained embedded browser is finally approaching its conclusion, butthe change appears to have caught some projects unaware.
