Firefox Gets Critical Update Treatment

Mozilla (makers of Firefox) have released a couple of updates for Firefox v3. The updates are security related and are both flagged a critical.

Version 3.0.8 for Windows, Mac, and Linux fixes two security holes, one patched an arbitrary code execution hole through an XUL element, and the other corrected an XSL stylesheet exploit. Both fixes patch crash-based security holes in which remote codes could have been run.

Users should find that they have already been updated or be prompted to update shortly. The updates will take effect after the browser is restarted.
