Firefox 3.5.1 Released, Critical Flaw Fixed
Mozilla has released an update to the latest version of its Firefox web browser, fixing a critical flaw that allowed hackers to run malicious code on an unsuspecting person’s machine.
The update, which we strongly recommend you grab right now by downloading it manually from Mozilla or by choosing “Check for Updates” in Firefox’s Help menu, was originally scheduled for the end of July. However, the Firefox team rushed to complete it sooner after a hacker’s post outlining the details of the security vulnerability made the rounds on blogs and news sites on Monday and Tuesday (read our coverage).
As a result of the publicity, Firefox 3.5.1 was pushed out late Thursday, two weeks ahead of schedule.
