Once again, the vulnerability that was discover only a couple of days ago.
The only complaint that I have is that the self update system that is
listed in preferences does not detect new updates and does not update
Firefox (http://www.spreadfirefox.com) to the latest version. I have been told, but cannot
confirm, that the updater works on Windows, but it clearly does not
work on Linux (http://www.linux.org) or Mac OSX.
To me this sounds like a case of Mozilla (http://www.mozilla.org/) Foundation biting the hand
that feeds it by offering a slightly inferior product to the free
software community that supported it when everyone else had turned its
back and jump on the Internet Explorer bandwagon.
Granted, if your Linux (http://www.linux.org) distro offers Firefox (http://www.spreadfirefox.com) and regular security
updates for it, then you probably weren't using the updater
anyway. But I still wonder why they have the feature listed if
they do not intend to use it. If someone from Mozilla (http://www.mozilla.org/) wants to
offer an explanation, feel free to comment.
