Thanks for the heads up!

 

You're most welcome

 

Mozilla security advisory MFSA 2012-10 was released today.

 

10.0.2 on its way!

BTW, this seems to be an informative page and has a bit on other browsers as well.

A chemspill release to address a security issue

Oops ... try https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Planning/2012-02-15

 

Another upgrade? Great, every time I open Firefox after opening Waterfox it checks my add-ons .... LOL! *grumble, whinge, whine ... *

 

This is getting frustrating as I have to interrupt individually a dozen people at work every time there is an update. They need to find a better way to handle updates.

 

Thanks, btw the 10.0.2 Release notes show the exact same changelog as for 10.0.1

 

Yes, I agree. I have a feeling this whole rapid release thing just isn't working for Mozilla. I think eventually this will lose them users.

 

These practically back to back updates to Firefox are getting on my t**s.
3 already in Feb. (in 18 days !)
Compare this to Opera, none in Feb. one in Jan.
FF must be collecting vulnerabilities at a hell of a pace, otherwise why the need for
all those updates ?

 

JRViejo, yes patching is vital but there are really an inordinate number of such
vulnerabilities. This is certainly not the case with Opera which is my number one browser.
Unfortunately I need Firefox for certain tasks. I have now removed Seamonkey (brother of FF), because I am sick of updating both of them on 5x Linuxes.

 

Ocky, this was actually not a Firefox specific security issue but one in the libpng library which also affected Chrome (and possibly other browsers that use that library).

 

This is what I got:

Code:

Name 			Release Date 
Firefox 4.0 		March 22 
Firefox 4.0.1		April 28 
Firefox 5		June 21 
Firefox 6 		August 16 
Firefox 6.0.1 	August 30 
Firefox 6.0.2 	September 6 
Firefox 7 		September 27 
Firefox 7.0.1 	September 29 
Firefox 8 		November 8 
Firefox 8.0.1 	November 21 
Firefox 9 		December 20 
Firefox 9.0.1 	December 21 
Firefox 10.0 		January 31 
Firefox 10.0.1 	February 10 
Firefox 10.0.2	February 17

I imagine that someone who has to look after Fx, SM and TB on multiple computers would not have enjoyed the last year!

 

Don't forget people who run multiple portables.

 

With Firefox the updates are to close holes. With Opera, it's closed source, so who knows if they're patching.
