Firefox 1.0.4 is now out.
 

Firefox 1.0.4 is now out.(at least for say en-US builds)

This release is to fix two potentially critical Firefox security vulnerabilities.

Some of you may have seen a article somewhere about the vulnerabilities already, something that only a very limited group was even supposed to know off in one secure Bugzilla bug, and where the what used to be a public duplicate is now limited access also just yesterday.

One of first to publish leak was http://www.frsirt.com/english/advisories/2005/0493
One of those involved with bug: http://www.greyhatsecurity.org/firefox.htm

Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory

Oh and Just like the 1.0.3 release due to a security fix then, a few extensions that worked on 1.0/1.0.1/1.0.2 may not work properly on 1.0.4 so you may have to look for new versions at places like extensionsmirror.nl

For those of you who are to lazy to uninstall a older build of Firefox first (as preferred so to not have unwanted bugs), the 1.0.3/1.0.4 releases (Windows) should remove the old entries in Add/Remove, if they are installed in same place. The settings are in a separate profile folder. http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/profile#locate

*Neo voice* Hmm, upgrades...

Well, I'll look into 1.0.4 this Friday after some WarCraft 3 gaming.

But for my iMac, there is only one browser that will suffice for my expectations of safety and quality:

Safari RSS, The Ultimate Browser

Getting off topic...

I'm sure your happy about David Hyatt having made Safari be the first to past the Acid2 test, at least in development builds anyways.

taken from MZ forums... "It's not going to happen for Firefox 1.1. Just like with Opera, the Acid2 test came at the wrong time for Mozilla.org to "walk the walk" right away. It's not like there's a released version of Safari containing the fixes, either..."

Hyatt is god.

But he is, or at least he was last time I read it, a Safari developer. So what is it going to take to make a final build of Safari work? A couple minutes.
