Camino 1.04 browser update fixes security

The Camino Project has released Camino 1.04, an update to its free web browser based on the same code-base as Firefox. The security update brings several critical security and stability issues, including those fixed in version 1.8.0.10 of the Mozilla Gecko rendering engine. In addition, the developers say that sheets will now close as expected on Intel-based Macs and that they have upgraded the bundled Java Embedding Plugin to version 0.9.6. The update also adds support for importing iCab 3 bookmarks, improves the handling of Internet Explorer .url shortcut files, and now will automatically make a backup copy of the bookmarks file when it launches if the file is not corrupt (as well as automatically restore bookmarks from a backup when it launches if they are unreadable). Earlier this month, a beta version of the next version, Camino 1.1 beta, was released for testing.
