Forefox security update

Mozilla has released an update to its browser, Firefox 3.5.1, which addresses a JavaScript security issue disclosed earlier in the week. The vulnerability could have been used by an attacker to execute malicious code. The latest version also corrects a number of other bugs for improved performance and stability, while the Windows version is said to shorten load time on certain systems.

Mozilla recommends that all users upgrade to Firefox 3.5.1. The update is available for Mac, Windows and Linux platforms.

They fixed the most annoying bug for me. When you preview from Adobe Dreamweaver it is supposed to bring Firefox to the front, but that hadn't worked properly with Firefox 3.5. Firefox would stay in the background and you'd have to manually switch to it, which was quite annoying. Thankfully this update fixes that problem.
