    It's that time again. The Mozilla foundation has just released the latest installment of everyone's favorite feral web browser, Mozilla Firefox. The following are the release notes from mozilla.org:
    ________________________________________

    Release Notes

    Firefox 1.0.7 is a security and stability release. We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to this latest version. This version includes several security and stability fixes, including a fix for a reported buffer overflow vulnerability and a fix for a Linux shell command vulnerability.

    Specific changes in Firefox 1.0.7
    • Fix for a potential buffer overflow vulnerability when loading a hostname with all soft-hyphens
    • Fix to prevent URLs passed from external programs from being parsed by the shell (Linux only)
    • Fix to prevent a crash when loading a Proxy Auto-Config (PAC) script that uses an "eval" statement
    • Fix to restore InstallTrigger.getVersion() for Extension authors
    • Other stability and security fixes
    ________________________________________

    You can grab the 1.0.7 in the usual locale, or there's always the 1.5.1 beta1 release for the adventurous.

    It's up to you!
    I found the differences between FF 1.0.6 and 1.0.7 are very minimal!
    I'm just going to wait till' Deer Park is released as a non-beta version!
