Mr. Hughes,
Thank very much for the update! That's the kind of info I was looking
for, if an ETA isn't reasonable to ask for. I can report a summary of
your note to my upstream authorities. I support both SL7 and C7
workstations, but had not yet seen the update on the sl-devel list.
I appreciate you taking the time to answer this thread! Thanks for
your hard work!

OK guys .. Firefox 60 is going to take some time .. likely more for
CentOS-6 than CentOS-7.
They both (C6 and C7 versions) require many non OS tools to build.
For CentOS-7 .. we need the rust-toolset, llvm-toolset, and
devtoolset-7, to get the firefox to build.
For CentOS-6, we need less items (no llvm-toolset required .. all the
rest is required). But, there is no released source code for the EL6
version of rust-devtoolset upstream.
I am working on this now .. but we had the 6.10 release and the also 32
other items that dropped for CentOS-7 (both of which are now done).
I am not the only one having issues with Firefox-60 (see this thread on
the Scientific Linux list):
https://listserv.fnal.gov/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind1807&L=scientific-linux-devel&D=0&P=74
I hope to have this working soon .. but. it is not just a build and
release kind of package.
Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
