Mozilla has released Firefox 2.0.0.4 and Firefox 1.5.0.12 to address six security vulnerabilities.
Most users will automatically receive this update and be asked to restart Firefox to install it. This update will probably be the final one for Firefox 1.5. As such, Mozilla provides an easy upgrade path for current 1.5 users to upgrade to 2.0.
All Firefox users are urged to install this update, as it addresses the following security issues including XUL Popup Spoofing, XSS using addEventListener, path abuse in cookies, persistent autocomplete denial of service and crashes with evidence of memory corruption).
This update also enhances Firefox support within the Windows Vista operating system, although links within some applications still may not open in Firefox even if you have chosen Firefox as your default browser; a Windows Media Player plug-in still doesn't exist for Firefox; Windows Vista Parental Controls are not completely honored yet within Firefox; and cookies and saved forms from Internet Explorer still have to be manually imported. Mozilla has posted workarounds for these.
