Firefox 3.6.2 Released
03.22.10 - 09:22pm
Mozilla has accelerated its timetable and released Firefox 3.6.2 ahead of schedule. This release contains a number of security fixes, including a fix to Secunia Advisory SA38608 which was previously discussed on this blog when we were first made aware of and were then able to confirm the issue.
For additional information please see Mozilla Foundation’s Security Advisory MFSA-10-08 as well as the Firefox 3.6.2 Release Notes. We urge users to promptly update to this release by selecting “Check for Updates…” from the “Help” menu, or by visiting https://www.mozilla.com/ for a free download.
I can’t thank our build, QA, web development and release management team enough for the hard work done in the past few days to accelerate the Firefox 3.6.2 release. Great story for our users.
Was it inspired by Germany recommending a switch away from Firefox earlier on the same day or was that a coincidence?
That was very quick:). Thanks Mozilla for taking the time to reschedule your regular release dates and realize the important of zero day vulnerabilities. Kudos!
