Firefox LogoI was just notified by Firefox’s auto-updater that a new version of Firefox is ready to go.

Firefox 2.0.0.6 is a security release addressing two vulnerabilities (see Table 1 below). Since a majority of Slaptijack are Firefox users, it seems appropriate to make the importance of this update clear.

Click the MFSA ID for further information.
