LibreJS 5.3 released

LibreJS 5.3 has been released following a bug report from a Trisquel
user. 

You can find the new version at:
http://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/?v=5.3


or install the executable file directly at:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/librejs/librejs-5.3.xpi


Installing LibreJS 5.2 failed on Trisquel Abrowser due to a
compatibility bug in the Addon SDK 1.14, which checks whether the add-on
is compatible with the current app (in this case, Abrowser) and flags it
as incompatible because its name does not match "Firefox".

The new version of LibreJS, 5.3, addresses this issue by using the Addon
SDK 1.13 instead of the latest version.

This bug will also impact numerous new add-ons built with the Mozilla
Add-on SDK 1.14 for many unofficial flavors of Firefox, such as Abrowser
and IceCat.

A bug report has been submitted to Mozilla to address this issue in
future versions of Firefox:

Special thanks to Julian for spotting this bug.
