+Mozilla has pushed out a Firefox update to patch some security issues which we [mentioned last week][4]. The new update, Firefox 2.0.0.6 comes just two weeks after the last security update.
+
+Firefox 2.0.0.6 fixes a critical vulnerability that would cause the browser to pass on unescaped URIs to external programs, which opened up all sorts of nasty attacks, including a means for hackers to install malware on Windows simply by offering a specially crafted link.
+
+The new update also addresses a less serious vulnerability involving Firefox add-ons.
+
+The update can be [downloaded from the Mozilla servers][1]. The [release notes][3] are available and if you'd like more information on the security issues, the patch information can be found [here][2].
+
+A security advisor sent out to Mozilla's mailing list also lists new version of Thunderbird 2.0.0.6, 1.0.5.13 and SeaMonkey 1.1.4 which all address the same issues.
