Default 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
