The Mozilla Foundation has released version 1.0.6 of Firefox to fix version 1.0.5, which broke important application extensions, including e-mail encryption options.
There have now been more flaws in the Firefox browser this year than in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer – the browser that Firefox is aiming to take market share from.
