Sharon Gaudin writes on InformationWeek:

Mozilla rolled out the latest security update for its Firefox browser this week, patching seven vulnerabilities.

This round of patches is for Firefox 1.5.0.10 and Firefox 2.0.0.2 users. The updates are automatically deployed, but users also can go to this Web site and manually download them.

"We strongly recommend that all Firefox users upgrade to this latest release," said Mike Schroepfer, VP of engineering at Mozilla, in a statement e-mailed to InformationWeek. "This update resolves the location.hostname vulnerability and other security and stability issues. Thanks to the work of our contributors, we have been able to address these issues quickly in order to minimize the security risk to Firefox users."

The security update only repairs the current list of known flaws.
