The most critical flaw in Firefox hasn’t been addressed in the update released today. Mozilla’s out

Issued today were Firefox 1.5.0.10, Firefox 2.0.0.2, and Thunderbird 1.5.0.10, available for Windows, Mac and Linux at getfirefox.com and getthunderbird.com. Mike Schroepfer, vice president of engineering, said in a written release that the update resolves Firefox’s critical location.hostname vulnerability, along with other unspecified security and stability issues.
Unmentioned was another critical flaw, discovered yesterday, having to do with memory corruption and possible PC takeover.
