Firefox 3.5.1 Update Released To Address Vulnerabilities

Mozilla has released an update to FireFox 3.5 which is being presented as version 3.5.1 for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The update closes a major security vulnerability that was disclosed several days ago that could lead to malicious code being executed by simply browsing a web site.

The new update also improves stability of the browser and the launch speed of the browser on Windows systems. A complete list of changes can be found at Mozilla Bugzilla.

A second update, Firefox 3.5.2 is already being worked on and is expected for release in late July. This update will cover more bug fixes and improvements that was originally planned for the 3.5.1 release but got postponed in order to speed up the release of 3.5.1 to address the security vulnerability.

You can get the latest update by going to Help -> Check For Updates within Firefox.
