Firefox 1.0.2 was released about an hour ago. According to “Asa”:http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/007795.html, it’s a “proactive update to fix a bug that makes users vulnerable to a buffer overflow in GIF image processing.”
It probably won’t show up on auto-update for a few days, so if you like being on the leading edge, you should download it from the web. Happy browsing!
Edit @ 4:30pm: A friend here at work noticed the automatic update icon on his Firefox toolbar just now. Looks like they are pushing it today afterall.
wow
Yeah, the update icon popped up for me about 3pm my time, so that’s noon where you are.
I thought it was odd, since I know they didn’t have the update notification icon appear for 1.0.1 for like a week, as reported by Asa back then.
3pm your time is noon Joey’s time, Tom? Where do you live, South America ;)?
Oops, that’s my mistake. Good catch Steve. It would really be 1pm Joey’s time.
