Firefox 1.5.0.1 released
Yesterday, Firefox released an update to bring the version up to 1.5.0.1. Some of you avid users were probably prompted already to upgrade. I suggest doing the upgrade to introduce additional stability and to install the security fixes that have been implemented in this release. Also included is improved Mac support for all you applesaucers out there…
There is an active exploit running around now that takes advantage of a security flaw in the older version, so please update if you haven’t already.
If you aren’t prompted to upgrade automatically, then you can do so manually by choosing Help-Check for Updates from the menu.
Here is a link to the geeky list of specifics.
Additionally, if you have installed some of the great Firefox extensions, you will need to update them as well.
Choose Tools-Extensions, then the Find Updates button on the bottom left of the resulting dialog box. After they are all downloaded, you will need to restart Firefox, but then you will be all up-to-date.
