Firefox 2.0.0.1 is released with security fixes
Posted by webstuffscan on December 20th, 2006
Mozilla today released 2.0.0.1 version of Firefox. This was auto updated by version 2.0 on my PC. It is basically a collection of security fixes and enhanced support for Windows Vista. Interestingly on Windows Vista Firefox can not yet be set as the default browser! Check this bug for details.
The version number 2.0.0.1 looks funny though!
List of major security fixes in Firefox 2.0.0.1,
- XSS using outer window’s Function object

- LiveConnect crash finalizing JS objects
