Firefox security update

3.6.2 should be applied as soon as possible.



No browser is 100% secure, however Firefox is rapidly updated to close holes as soon as they appear, unlike other browsers.



Love Apple, but they are slow on updating Safari and Charles Miller has found 20 security holes in Safari and Preview.



Charles Miller has won the last two hacking contests by exploiting Safari.



Hope Apple does better in the future.

    I downloaded and installed FF 3.6 today. No v. 3.6.2 in sight!

    Current version is 3.6.2.

    I still like Safari the most. The only browser that allows me to right-click to speech commands.

    If you select Help/Check for Updates... within Firefox, then it will download and install FF 3.6.2 for you.

    I just noticed that my FF 3.5.3 "check for updates" is grayed out, as is my "update automatically". Why the hell is that? I'm going to the Mozilla site to download 3.6 now.
