Notes: 

The Release Notes were finally updated yesterday to include a link to the security fixes included in the update.  The update includes three (3) Critical, four (4) High, two (2) Moderate and one (1) Low security updates. 

The issue introduced with version 29.1 that many users have experienced with slow shut downs resulting in the "Firefox is already running" warning continues unresolved.  In the meantime, Firefox users having this issue may want to refer to the KB article, "Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message - How to fix it.
