Three browsers have seen new security updates; actually more than three, since the Mozilla Foundation released updates to three of their products at the same time. The Firefox 3.0.5 update has the most important security fixes<\/a>. Eight flaws patched, with three of them considered critical (two cross-scripting flaws, and one memory corruption issue). You can get Firefox 3.0.5 here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As for the other version of Firefox (2.0.0.19), this is the last update to Firefox 2. (Get it here<\/a>.) It patches nine issues, many of which are the same as those fixed on Firefox 3.<\/p>\n

The last Mozilla browser is SeaMonkey version 1.1.14 (available here<\/a>). It patches many of the same issues that the two Firefoxen patch.<\/p>\n

The release notes say “Upgraded to version 1.8.1.19 of the Mozilla Gecko rendering engine, which includes several critical security and stability fixes.”<\/p>\n
