The Mozilla Foundation has once again released an interim version of its popular Firefox browser. Firefox 0.10.1 addresses a new security vulnerability which could allow a hacker to delete files from a user's download directory.

Users of the initial Firefox 1.0 preview release can patch their browser against this vulnerability by running the Firefox automatic update feature. Users of the preview release can also choose to manually install this patch using the link provided below.

The best thing I like about this update, is that the fix was only 9 KB in size, & it automatically updated the build version to .10.1, insted of downloading it again, definetely looking forward to Firefox 1.0 final, man this skinable browser is freeking good, specially when the updates are only 9 kb or so in size, but if they keep this up then it will be good like if there is a bug fix in Firefox 1.0 then we can have update of that it only 10 or 100 kb series

I think that firefox is C_R_A_P...

Coz it can't do the most basic thing required by a browser...
Rendering a page...

If it's better than IE then why can't it render pages better than IE...???

Nikhil, I disagree with it. Firefox renders pages well...if you compare with IE, it is way better in terms of features and support for standards. Right now IE has the market share so its only natural that web page authors design their pages and content to make it look the best in IE. As far as Firefox goes, I can vouch for it since I have been using it for the past 6 months - it Rocks! I say all of us should give it a try.... :)

Nikhil I used to think the same, but from rendering from cache Firefox is faster then IE6 SP2, I M using it just because of one reason, it is Skinable in Crystal icons

Use it, U will like it

Firefox rules ... be it the rendering or the extensions . IE was good but due to loss of updates to IE6 i think it just lost ground like Netscape did sometime back against IE ...!!

There are so many security flaws in IE rite now that is not advisable to use IE ... as it was listed on the Firefox Update site ..there are atleast 26 open security issues with IE as compared to only 1 with Firefox

All in all Firefox delivers the knockout punch to IE
