It will be fixed when this is released:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1633932#c23

In the mean time, for CentOS-6 and CentOS-7 (x86_64, i386) .. there is a
temporary unsigned build here:

https://buildlogs.centos.org/c6-firefox60.x86_64/firefox/20181015143830/

https://buildlogs.centos.org/c7-firefox60.x86_64/firefox/20181015143830/

As soon as Red Hat officially releases the other SRPM, I will build it
and release it as well.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

Thanks for these builds!
Unfortunately I did have problems after updating to them. The session
wouldn't restore as usual and some tabs simply kept empty. The URL was
shown correctly but the webpage wasn't visible. Reloading didn't help.

Downgrading to the current version fixed it again.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Simon

No idea .. the buildlog seems OK.  This is not released yet upstream is
likely in QA testing now.
