Firefox 1.5.0.1
Surprise!
The Mozilla Foundation surprised me this morning with an update to the excellent Firefox browser, now at version 1.5.0.1. Couldn’t find that much info about what was updated though… Secunia has a full list of vulnerabilities that have now been fixed in v1.5.0.1.
I only had two extensions disabled with this one — Fangs and Venkman, so I didn’t have too much to complain about in the upgrade.
For all you Firefox lovers out there (isn’t that all of you? 
), go forth and download!
Blessings, Steve
Update

The good news is that the team behind Firefox have moved very quickly to fix these problems. All software has bugs, but the negative effect of the bugs are minimised when they are addressed quickly.
Don’t wait to update your browser when there is an update. Update Firefox now!
