Firefox Update

Firefox version 3.0.5 is now available. This release fixes eight security bugs -- three rated "critical" (Mozilla details | Ryan Naraine's blog post).

If you don't have automatic updates enabled, do Help → Check for Updates. As it happens, I had automatic updates turned on, so I don't know how big the patch was. Apparently, it download and installed without a problem -- last night -- and let me know the next time I started Firefox this morning.

Also, I see that Ryan Naraine is reporting that Opera has a new version available, too. This patch will bring you to version 9.63. I don't have Opera installed, so I can't tell you anything about this, but Ryan says there are several critical holes to be closed.
