Mozilla releases Firefox version 2.0.0.6 right before it's expected to announce new security tools at this week's BlackHat security conference.
Still battling vulnerabilities that could allow the Firefox browser to pass dangerous data to third-party applications like Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Mozilla this week released Firefox 2.0.0.6 to fix the problem.
In mid-July, Mozilla released Firefox 2.0.0.5 with patches for several vulnerabilities, including the "highly critical" security bug that has been plaguing both Firefox and Microsoft's Internet Explorer. On Monday, the open-source group shipped workarounds and patches for two related bugs.
The fixes come right before the opening of the BlackHat security conference in Las Vegas this week. Mozilla is expected to release additional security tools there.Source: informationweek.com
