Mozilla Firefox 0.10.1 security update

  • Reported by liorean

Long time since I last did a browser release post. Well, here it is: A security hole in Mozilla Firefox has been fixed by the 0.10.1 release. Users of the 1.0 preview release can download an XPI patch for it, other users will have to download the new 0.10.1 release. This hole does not affect other Mozilla products. More information at Important Security Update for Firefox Available

As a side note, it can be noted that you need to authorise the download of the XPI if you try to download it from that page, since Mozilla apparently does by default not allow installing XPIs from the www.mozilla.org domain.

Firefox users can use the builtin update-function in the browser. There's no need to go to www.mozilla.org and download the XPI patch.

Where would the "builtin update-function" be located?
