Mozilla fixes upgrade flaw in Firefox
Closed Published January 8th, 2010 in Browser Security, Firefox, Mozilla
Mozilla has fixed a flaw in Firefox’s upgrade mechanism that had prevented many users from migrating to the newer version 3.5.
The new Firefox 3.5.7 and Firefox 3.0.17 also included a patch for a bug that Mozilla’s programmers introduced in mid-December, when they last issued a security update. Mozilla regularly offers the newer Firefox 3.5 to users running the older Firefox 3.0 with prominent billboard-like dialog boxes as part of a process the company calls "major update." The uptake on the several major updates offered since last summer, however, has been well under Mozilla’s estimates. Mozilla fixes upgrade flaw in Firefox – Techworld.com
