Firefox 1.0.7 Released (Fixes Security Vulnerabilities)

[old np]

Firefox 1.0.7 has been released. This release contains a number of security fixes over top of 1.0.6. It does not contain any new features; new features will be available when 1.5 in released. All users of Firefox 1.0.x are strongly advised to upgrade. Users of Firefox 1.5 beta should not upgrade to this release.

Firefox's update mechanism should have informed you of this update by now. If it has not or it did not work, download 1.0.7 from the Firefox site.

While most upgrades will go flawlessly, it may be a good idea to back up your profile (your profile contains your settings, bookmarks, extensions, etc.) before updating.

Users of Norton Internet Security (NIS) may not be able to connect to websites following the upgrade. This is a bug in NIS. Read this thread for easy instructions to fix this problem.
