Buggy FireFox 1.0.5 Prompts Release of FireFox 1.0.6 beta

The open-source Firefox browser and Thunderbird e-mail client will be updated for the second time in a week because of code changes that have unintentionally stopped some third-party extensions from functioning correctly. This means Firefox 1.0.6 will be rushed out to replace version 1.0.5 that just came out less than a week ago. Boy oh boy firefox has had a rough couple months recently.

We are getting ready to release Firefox 1.0.6, Thunderbird 1.0.6, and Mozilla Suite 1.7.10 to address some API issues in the Firefox and Thunderbird 1.0.5 releases, and we want to gather feedback on extension compatibility. There is a very real chance that some of the general security improvements may impact a number of extensions that worked with 1.0.4 and earlier, and we want to identify and address as many of these as possible before we release 1.0.6.
