This version includes several security and stability fixes, including a fix for a reported buffer overflow vulnerability and a fix for a Linux shell command vulnerability.

Fix to prevent URLs passed from external programs from being parsed by the shell (Linux only)
Fix to prevent a crash when loading a Proxy Auto-Config (PAC) script that uses an "eval" statement
Fix to restore InstallTrigger.getVersion() for Extension authors


Mozilla Linux Command Line URL Parsing Security Flaw Reported

2. I could have sworn I already had 1.0.7 but I guess not
Edited on Wed Sep-21-05 02:07 AM by Up2Late
I only have 1.0.6, well time to update,

Thanks

BTW, have you ever been to browserwars.com? I thinks that's the name, but it's like a giant game of "Connect 5" (or 4, I think it depends on the size of the board). You click on a square and depending on which browser you use, that's the icon that appears.

7. Perhaps for those of us who are thinking of switching and would like
to know that a new version is out. I used Firefox at one time, and now I think it's time to use it again.
