Firefox News: Firefox 2.0.0.13 Released

It’s one of those days again when my Firefox auto-update prompts me to install yet another update to Firefox 2. I have been shifting from trying out a 3 Beta release to old Firefox 2 and I was surprised that Mozilla is still doing some patchwork to version 2.

Fixes for this release:

  • XUL popup spoofing variant (cross-tab popups)
  • Java socket connection to any local port via LiveConnect
  • Privacy issue with SSL Client Authentication
  • HTTP Referrer spoofing with malformed URLs
  • Crashes with evidence of memory corruption (rv:1.8.1.13)
  • JavaScript privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution

Download Firefox 2.0.0.13 here.
