Firefox update - do it now!!!

Looks like they might have found the problem running Firefox with Java...

If you use Firefox and you find it sluggish sometimes, it could be due to memory corruption!

The latest update fixes that!!!!

Opening Java websites is much faster now.

Firefox menu bar>>>>Help>Check for Updates

Version 2.0.0.14 of the Firefox web browser has been released by the Mozilla organisation. The update closes a security hole that developers opened up when patching a previously identified bug. Apple has also released an update for Safari that fixes four security vulnerabilities in the browser for Windows and Mac OS X. Attackers were able to use crafted websites to install trojans that could spoof the address bar or execute cross-site scripting attacks.

The vulnerabilities described in Mozilla security advisory MFSA2008-20 affect the JavaScript Garbage Collector. Apparently it could crash after the changes made to patch the holes published in security advisory MFSA2008-15 (browser crash with memory corruption). As a result, malicious code could be injected and executed, though there was no demonstration of an exploit in this case, unlike similar situations in the past.

BTW anyone knows why u-tube loads quickly for 30 seconds and then stops loading (or very slowly)

Me don't think it's a problem with Java, but JavaScript. Version 2.0.0.13 keeps crashing my FF when I open Gmail. Using a new profile doesn't help. Their update solved that.

A lot of ISPs have speed bursts (first few seconds uber fast, then after that you see it dropping). I'm pretty sure Singnet does that as well.
