This turned up a couple of hours ago on the update manager. There
weren't even release notes available! That's extremely quick for an
update on Mint; I wonder why it was there that quickly.

It was quick because there is only one change to the program, as noted
in the release changes:

"Yandex and Mail.ru have been removed as optional search providers in
the drop-down search menu in Firefox.

If you previously installed a customized version of Firefox with
Yandex or Mail.ru, offered through partner distribution channels, this
release removes those customizations, including add-ons and default
bookmarks. Where applicable, your browser will revert back to default
settings, as offered by Mozilla. All other releases of Firefox remain
unaffected by the change."

Power corrupts. And atomic power corrupts atomically.
