Mozilla has released an update of
Firefox that fixes six bugs as it continues to gain share of
the internet browser market.
Firefox's market share has gone up 3% in ten months, while
Microsoft's dominant Internet Explorer has slipped by about 7%
according to a
market survey.
In that time Mozilla announced several security updates as well
as the availability of the first release of
Mobile Firefox in October.
The latest security updates in version 3.0.6 include only one
critical problem relating to a JavaScript vulnerability that could
allow an attacker to run unauthorised code.
Of the other vulnerabilities fixed, two were rated as high risk,
one moderate and two low.
The latest version of Firefox also fixes several stability
issues, said Mozilla.
In previous versions of Firefox, some users experienced a
problem where parts of the screen were not properly displaying
after Firefox was open for long periods of time.
There is improved ability for scripted commands to work properly
with plug-ins, client user IDs have been removed from crash
reports, and issues with the display of some Indic scripts have
been fixed, Mozilla said.
