[Shen]

Mozilla released a security and stability update for Firefox 3.x users. All the Firefox users must upgrade this latest security update release 3.0.10....

If you are already having Firefox 3, you will receive an automated update notification within 24 to 48 hours. If you don't have automatic updates or notifications enabled, do Help → Check for Updates. The whole process just took less than a minute to me.

One of the security fixes in Firefox 3.0.9 introduced a regression that caused some users to experience frequent crashes. Users of the HTML Validator add-on were particularly affected, but other users also experienced this crash in some situations.

In analyzing this crash Mozilla discovered that it was due to memory corruption similar to cases that have been identified as security vulnerabilities in the past.

The latest security update version 3.0.10 developed by Mozilla is exclusively designed to fix a bug that was re-introduced in the recent 3.0.9 update.
