Firefox plans bug fix release for next week – 2.0.0.10 update
By
Mozilla plans to release a bug fix for its Firefox browser next week, repairing a long-standing security flaw in the software. The 2.0.0.10 update is in testing right now and should be released to the public next week, following the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S.
“We are giving it a couple of days to make sure that there are no issues found and we’ll release it after Thanksgiving,” said Mike Schroepfer, Mozilla’s vice president of engineering. The issue was first reported last February by Jesse Ruderman, but it gained widespread attention earlier this month when researcher Petko Petkov pointed out on his blog that the flaw could be used to launch a cross-site scripting attack against the Firefox browser.
