Another Firefox vulnerability

Another vulnerability has been found in the Firefox browser, and once again users are required to download and install the entire browser, rather than a simple update.

The download is 4.7 MB in size, so those of you on dial-up connections should schedule it when your computer will be free for a few minutes. I didn't uninstall version 1.0.1 before installing the new one, and it seemed to work just fine.

The URL to download v1.0.2 is:

http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

I haven't spent any time using the new version yet, so don't know if it'll do a better job of blocking pop-ups than was done by the previous version. Hope so.

I use adblock the extension for firefox, and i have forgotten that popups even exist. it can be customized for all advertisments as well, not just popups.
