Firefox 1.0.7 is a security and stability release. We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to this latest version.

This version includes several security and stability fixes, including a fix for a reported buffer overflow vulnerability and a fix for a Linux shell command vulnerability.

Specific changes in Firefox 1.0.7

    * Fix for a potential buffer overflow vulnerability when loading a hostname with all soft-hyphens
    * Fix to prevent URLs passed from external programs from being parsed by the shell (Linux only)
    * Fix to prevent a crash when loading a Proxy Auto-Config (PAC) script that uses an "eval" statement
    * Fix to restore InstallTrigger.getVersion() for Extension authors

Yeah, that's great -- if anyone deserves it you do.

Thanks guys, and I will. :)

As for the 1.5 beta (not the original topic of the thread, but pretty close), so far my vote for best new feature is the ability to update Firefox when new patches/releases are deployed...not that it was a big deal reinstalling each time, but still a pretty good feature.

Drag and drop tabs are pretty cool too.
