New versions for Firefox 3.0 and Firefox 3.5
The foundation Mozilla just upload two new versions of its web browsers: Firefox 3.0.17 and Firefox 3.5.7. These updates can correct any security problems, but only found bugs in the software operation.
The first concerns name resolution Who could fail when you use certain proxy servers. The second, related only to Firefox 3.5, affecting the JavaScript engine. On some sites, the JavaScript could crash the application. A defect that remains neutral in terms of security.
The last bug is more annoying to the Mozilla Foundation. It concerns the way whose major updates of the browser are presented to users. In this area, Firefox 3.0 uses the same method with the updated classic that is to say, display an informational message discreet. However, to avoid incompatibilities with certain add-ons, the update is not automatic.
This choice that many users – minimizing the importance of the message — still have not switched to Firefox 3.5. The developers have fixed this problem by proposing a more visible message. The fix applies to both Firefox 3.0 than Firefox 3.5. This phenomenon does not happen again at the exit of the milling 3.6 browser.
