"Firefox 3.0.5 fixes eight security vulnerabilities, three of them critical. The critical fixes include XSS vulnerabilities in SessionStore, XSS and JavaScript privilege escalation, and crashes with evidence of memory corruption.

The Firefox 3.0.5 update also fixes several stability issues and issues found in accessibility implementation, adds the ability to send OS-specific system notes in the crash reporter, and replaces the End-User License Agreement with a new "Know Your Rights" info bar on the initial installation. With Firefox 3.0.5, the browser becomes available in Bengali, Esperanto, Galician, Hindi and Latvian."

"Mozilla is not planning any further security and stability updates for Firefox 2, and recommends that you upgrade to Firefox 3 as soon as possible. It's free, and your settings and bookmarks will be preserved," the Firefox advisory said.

Firefox 2.0.0.19 fixes 10 bugs in the browser, four of which are critical. The critical patches fix XSS vulnerabilities in the SessionStore, XSS and JavaScript privilege escalation, additional XSS attack vectors in feed preview, and crashes with evidence of memory corruption.

"Also, the Phishing Protection service will no longer be available for Firefox 2 users," Firefox said. "Firefox 3 offers a free Phishing and Malware Protection service, which will continue to protect you from online scams and attacks."

Your plans to destroy FF are futile!

Okay, so again bbc radio told me today that microsoft have released a patch from their main page which counters the problem. However, it comes from the page that was originaly at fault so they do not know if the keylog will be dl with the new patch.

Does anyone know how to fix, when you click a link and it opens a new window, how do you make the window become FF rather than IE?

if the fox is on fire, its burning.

burning wolf =/= burning fox, once the 1st is a wolf and the second is a fox.
