Firefox 3.0.1 Out Now, More Security and Stability

In Firefox’s Help menu choose Check for Updates to download Firefox 3.0.1, a minor update that fixes Firefox 3′s most common causes of crashes. This update won’t cause any add-on incompatibilities

Last month a very serious vulnerability was discovered in the Firefox source code which affected both Firefox 3 and Firefox 2.x.x and could allow a hacker to execute commands remotely on a machine. Hopefully this new update will fix this Firefox security hole too.

Firefox 3.0.1 fixes a lot of bugs and security issues that spawned through the initial release of Firefox 3.0. A complete list of all such security issues can be found Here.

As it is the first update since Firefox 3, so it is recommended for users to upgrade to Firefox 3.0.1 immediately.
