2008-06-23


Old news -- 2008 June 17, Firefox 3.0 was available to download.

I am going to download Firefox 3.0, But I read the latest news about firefox 3 has some Critical flaw , so I have to wait other while:

Mozilla security chief Window Snyder (left) has confirmed the existence of a serious code execution vulnerability in the brand-new Firefox 3.0 browser.

Snyder’s confirmation follows a public warning by TippingPoint’s ZDI (Zero Day Initiative) that the flaw could lead to PC takeover hijacks if a user simply surfs to a rigged Web site with Firefox.
