Firefox 17.0.1 Released

Mozilla released what appears to be a minor update to version 17.0.1. I'm not seeing any security updates. From the Release Notes:

17.0.1: Font rendering issue in Firefox 17.0 (bug 814101)

17.0.1: Reverted user agent change causing some website incompatibilities

Edit Note: I guess I didn't look far enough down the page. There were a few other fixes in version 17.0.1 as well as two new items. I'm not sure why the additional fixed items were listed at the bottom.

17.0.1: Leaving Private Browsing with Social API enabled should reset social components (814554)
Pointer lock doesn't work in web apps (769150)
Page scrolling on sites with fixed headers (780345)
New:
First revision of the Social API and support for Facebook Messenger
Click-to-play blocklisting implemented to prevent vulnerable plugin versions from running without the user's permission (see blog post)
