Firefox 1.5.0.4

In case you don't have your Firefox browser set to check for updates automatically, you might be interested to note that v1.5.0.4 is now out. It fixes several security holes, according to the release notes.

The update is about 500 K, and requires a browser restart after downloading. In other words, painless.

You can check for updates using

Help > Check for Updates ....

from the Firefox menu bar.

What? Still not using Firefox? Why?


[Update: 2006-06-02 10:33] Thunderbird v1.5.0.4 is also now available. Pretty much the same drill for the mail program as the browser.

[Update: 2006-06-02 12:13] The Mac versions of the upgrades are available as well. However, the smaller downloads don't seem to be available (yet?). The "Update Now" button causes what looks like the whole program to be downloaded -- about 7 MB for Ffox, 9 MB for Tbird. On the bright side, the installation is automatic -- no mucking about with .dmg files.
