Security Updates for Mozilla Firefox and SeaMonkey ReleasedWednesday November 12th, 2008Mozilla Firefox 3.0.4, Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.18 and SeaMonkey 1.1.13 have been released. These releases contain several critical security updates, which include patches for crashes and remote code execution. All users are encouraged to update to the latest versions. For more details, please refer to Mozilla Firefox 3.0.4 Release Notes, Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.18 Release Notes and SeaMonkey 1.1.13 Release Notes I had almost no crashes with any previous 3.0.x release, but this one crashes at least every 30 minutes, sometimes more often. I have no idea what is causing the crashes, but this version is useless - I will see if I can downgrade to 3.0.3 again, which was working stable most of the time. I recommend every Mac user to stay away of this update. Security issues are not as dramatic, most people trying to make use of them won't target Mac, but rather Windows (and Windows code will most likely not do much harm on a Mac system). Having a browser that is almost unusable because it crashes more than that it's running is much more critical! #2 Firefox 3.0.4 auto-restart fails !!!!

Reinstalledby mark_torrey <mark_torrey@hotmail.com> Friday November 14th, 2008 10:38 AM First, sorry about the multiple posts ... Okay ... I re-downloaded and then re-installed (from the link above) instead of from within Firefox's "Check for Updates" popup ... and it appears to working now. Prior to doing the new re-download, I copied the original Mozilla Firefox folder, just in case. This update was not seamless or as easy as previous updates have been. I do not know what all the contributors were, and don't have time to investigate further right now. If/when I get a chance I will re-post here. "First, sorry about the multiple posts ..." DON'T EVER DO THIS AGAIN, mark_torrey. It's like spamming this thread!! YOU HEAR ME, spammer! I don't have a problem with Firefox 3.0.4 and it ran fine under Vista. #9 Re: Re: Firefox 3.0.4 auto-restart fails !!!!

Reiby zaimokoya Monday January 12th, 2009 1:37 PM I completely agree, it is 4td8s who should be ashamed for scolding someone who has already offered an apology. I like the sweet irony that your response to a rant about multiple postings was itself multiply posted. Good on ya mate! Jim The CERT advisory at <http://www.us-cert.gov/ca…techalerts/TA08-319A.html> says that Thunderbird 2.0.0.18 has also been released. Has it? It does not appear to be available either on the download page at <http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/> nor via the Help->Check for Updates menu option. |
