Firefox 3.0.9 Targets 12 Security Vulnerabilities

Some of these crashes showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. But after releasing Firefox 3.1 beta 3 last month, the organization behind the browser said a fourth beta is planned -- and with the new version number 3.5. In March, security testing company Secunia reported that Mozilla had more vulnerabilities in its Web browser last year than Internet Explorer, Safari, and Opera combined, but that Mozilla dealt with those flaws quicker than Microsoft. Mozilla now has 22.05 percent of the global browser market share, compared with IE's 66.82 percent, a drop of more than 7 percentage points in a year, according to figures from Web metrics company Net Applications. Updates for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux are available at the Mozilla site (downloads in all languages are available here).
