6/24/2010 4:17:54 AM

Mozilla has made the patching of eight flaws, inclusive of the critical susceptibilities of version 3.5 and 3.6 of Firefox browser. The rating by Mozilla gives indication that the attackers can not make exploitation of the errors to run code and install the software, which needs no user interaction apart from the usual browsing.

These flaws had a moderate rating, which means that the quoted critical vulnerabilities work out in uncommon configurations or need the user for performing complicated steps. Mozilla has made announcement on the newest addition of crash protection to Firefox 3.6.4, which aim at making the browser running when a plug-in application fails.

The results from beta testing illustrate Firefox 3.6.4 for significantly lessening the number of Firefox crashes, which are experienced by users watching online videos or playing games. When there is a crashing of plug-ins or freezing while using Firefox, the users can enjoy uninterrupted browsing by refreshing the page.

Firefox offers the crash protection for Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight and Apple Quicktime on Windows and Linux computers. The support for the plug-ins and operating systems will become available in future Firefox release.

Firefox users are encouraged for upgrade of the free by making use of the ‘Check for Updates’ function in the Help menu or by visiting the Firefox website.
