New Update: Firefox 2.0.0.12
It
seems like it's been forever since I've written about a new update for
the Firefox Web browser, so when I heard about the new version being
released, I jumped at the chance to include it in today's newsletter!
I know many of you are avid Firefox users, so you may already be enjoying
the new release, but just in case you're a step behind, I'm here to
give you the full scoop. So, without further ado, I give you Firefox
2.0.0.12, which was released on February 7, 2008. Let's check
it out!
According
to the release notes for v2.0.0.12, several security and stability issues
were discovered in the previous version (2.0.0.11), so Mozilla went
straight to work on getting them all patched up. I was able to find
a list of ten different bugs that were fixed and they dealt with everything
from Web forgery to stylesheets to Web browsing history to stored password
corruptions to multiple file inputs and even some browser crash problems.
They were all a little confusing to me, but if you'd like to take a
look at the complete list, you can do so here.
I'm just glad the Mozilla company knows what they're doing!
Now,
if you haven't downloaded the new version yet, you should do so very
soon. Like I said before, all of the found issues have to do with security
and stability vulnerabilities, so you really need this update to keep
yourself protected while you're surfing the Web. To download Firefox
2.0.0.12, just go to this Web
site and click on the big green Download Firefox - Free
button. Or, you can get the update by opening your Firefox browser,
going to Help, Check for Updates.
Once you're done, you'll be all set and safe to use your Firefox any
way you wish. Enjoy!
