“If you already have Firefox 3 or Firefox 2, you will receive an automated update notification within 24 to 48 hours. As far as Firefox 2.0.0.19 was concerned, Mozilla resolved four Critical vulnerabilities, one High, and two Moderate. Three of the security holes resolved in Firefox 3.0.5 were considered Critical, with one rated as posing a High risk, and one Moderate. With the release of 3.0.5 and 2.0.0.19, Mozilla manages to decrease the potential attack surface of the two browser versions, by plugging a range of vulnerabilities.

Firefox 3 offers a free Phishing and Malware Protection service, which will continue to protect you from online scams and attacks,” Samuel Sidler, Quality Assurance engineer at Mozilla, revealed.įirefox 2.x and Firefox 3.x versions of Mozilla's open source browser have recently been labeled as the most vulnerable pieces of software for the Windows operating system in 2008, in Bit9's Dirty Dozen. Also, the Phishing Protection service will no longer be available for Firefox 2 users. It’s free, and your settings and bookmarks will be preserved. “Mozilla is not planning any further security and stability updates for Firefox 2, and recommends that you upgrade to Firefox 3 as soon as possible. In this regard, Firefox 2.0.0.19 is the last release for version 2.0 of the open source browser. As it had warned as early as mid-2008 with the launch of Firefox 3.0, Mozilla discontinued supporting Firefox 2.0 as of December 16. Firefox 3.0.5 and Firefox 2.0.0.19 went live on December 16, 2008, and are now up for grabs along with Firefox 3.1 Beta 2. While working to produce the first Release Candidate of Firefox 3.1, Mozilla has made available for download two new releases of codename Shiretoko's precursors.
