Firefox Security Update

Mozilla has released a patch that closes two critical security holes (details). This brings the latest release to version 3.0.8.

If you don't have automatic updates or notifications enabled, do Help → Check for Updates. The whole process went off without a hitch for me, although the update server seemed sluggish. Could have been just a temporary glitch, or else everyone in the world was trying to get this update at the same time. Anyway, best do it right away -- I read somewhere a couple of days ago that one of the holes was made public before Mozilla was informed about it, so the bad guys have gotten a head start on those who postpone their updates.

(And so much for the last post.)
