Mozilla recently release another update of Firefox - version 2.0.0.14 on April 16, 2008. That's just a few days after the last update.
I don't think that bad. Apparently the latest update fixes a critical issue - MFSA 2008-20 Crash in JavaScript garbage collector. I have no idea what that means and I don't really care.
A new version of my favourite open source browser, Firefox has been released. No! It's not the eagerly awaited version 3 but ver 2.0.0.13
It was released on the 25 of this month.
A few security issues were fixed.
Mozilla released the latest version of the Firefox browser yesterday. I was quite because the new version didn't get updated automatically unlike previously and I had to use the "Check for Updates" under help tab on the browser.
Anyway, the new version fixes a number of security and stability issues that were discovered in Firefox 2.0.0.11.
The latest version of Firefox to come out is version 2.0.0.6, which was released on July 30, 2007. I am not sure why but the auto update didn't work and I had to install it manually.
The following security issues have been fixed:
MFSA 2007-27 Unescaped URIs passed to external programs
MFSA 2007-26 Privilege escalation through chrome-loaded about:blank windows
Firefox 2.0.0.5, the latest version, was released yesterday.
A few security issues were fixed with the release.
In anoter related news, according to a recent article, the Beta version of the eagerly awaited major update, Firefox 3.0, has been postponed to a later date.
Just yesterday I was discussing with my friend Wolfgang, how it's a shame that ZoneAlarm does not work with Windows Vista.
Today morning, I found out that the World's #1 firewall is now compatible with the Windows Vista operating system (Last update: June 4, 2007). Shows that I am have not been keeping up to date.
It is FREE for individual and not-for-profit charitable use (excluding governmental entities and educational institutions).
One of it's best features that besides protecting you from intruders' it will display a pop-up if a new program attempts to connect to the net and will only do so if you allow it.
