Hey guys,
The new version Mozilla Firefox 1.0.5 was released. This is a security update only. Don;t expect any new feature. I recommend to install this latest version since it has several security fixes and improvements to stability. I just updated from 1.0.4 and had no problems with my existing settings and extensions: Adblock Plus 0.5.8 CuteMenus 0.4 Menu Editor 1.2 Slim Extension List 0.1 Tabbrowser extension Mouse Gestures 1.0 Anyway, if you want to have new feature, try Deer Park build. Deer Park is the code name for Firefox 1.1. Download here Firefox 1.0.5 |

If I'm not mistaken, Deer Park is still in the ALPHA stage and I'm not one to try stuff out until it's at least in BETA. In any case, the hardier among us would definitely want to give it a shot. Let us know...
Coming back to the topic, Firefox 1.0.5 is a major security update. So don't expect increased functionality and features. For the technically minded here's a list of vulnerabilities fixed in 1.0.5: QUOTE MFSA 2005-56 Code execution through shared function objects MFSA 2005-55 XHTML node spoofing MFSA 2005-54 Javascript prompt origin spoofing MFSA 2005-53 Standalone applications can run arbitrary code through the browser MFSA 2005-52 Same origin violation: frame calling top.focus() MFSA 2005-51 The return of frame-injection spoofing MFSA 2005-50 Possibly exploitable crash in InstallVersion.compareTo() MFSA 2005-49 Script injection from Firefox sidebar panel using data: MFSA 2005-48 Same-origin violation with InstallTrigger callback MFSA 2005-47 Code execution via "Set as Wallpaper" MFSA 2005-46 XBL scripts ran even when Javascript disabled MFSA 2005-45 Content-generated event vulnerabilities Notice from jipman:
