    * 262887 - Secunia background tab security issues (SA12712).

    * 279945 - Image drag and drop allows to create executable files.
    * 280056 - When dropping a javascript link to a tab, the script runs in the security context of the site currently displayed in the tab.
    * 280603 - "New Updates Avail" popup in bottom right-hand corner pops up endlessly / excessive hits on update service.
    * 280664 - Using Flash and the -moz-opacity filter you can get access to about:config and make the user silently change values.
    * 282270 - Display IDN URLs as punycode by default (controlled by a hidden pref).

oh yaar, kya yeh chote chote patches nahi de sakte, baar baar poora d/l karna padta hai, dial up pe kitni pareshaani hoti hai nd one more thing, my FF is not opening external links, like wen a site is mentioned in the FORUM it opens in the new page, but it is not happening, wat is the prob???

shwetanshu, wait for Firefox's ver 1.1

It will allow you to simply download the update to Firefox, rather than downloading the whole software all over again.

with me installation of 1.0.4 removed all previous installation lists from appwiz.cpl

N

Downloading..............

Thanx for the alert. I will keep that in mind and make a backup of the registry first.

Can' they have a patch in form of extension instead of full download? This is the most annoying part.

@Dr. Grudge cant u change the topic name to something like Firefox New Updates, so that u wont have to change the thread name again & again.
One more prob: my FF dosnt open GMAIL in standard view. It says ur brower is currently not supported. Wat cud be the prob??
