Mozilla to patch two major Firefox security flaws

Posted on Tuesday, May 10 2005 @ 23:55 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

Yesterday we reported about two major security flaws in Firefox 1.0.3 which could allow malicious users to take over someone else his computer.

Mozilla today released release candidate versions of Firefox 1.0.4 which will resolve the security bugs.

We've got 1.0.4 candidate builds. If you all can help us test these bits, and make sure we haven't regressed anything over 1.0.3, that'd be a big help. If you do encounter any new problems (issues you cannot reproduce in 1.0.3) please comment here ASAP. Thanks.

Firefox 1.0.4 RC can be found here
