[ghaefb]

The version 0.10.1 contains security flaw fix: "A malicious hacker who could trick a user into saving a file could delete files from a user's download directory."
More info -> here

All users should upgrade to the latest version of the Firefox Preview Release.
A patch is available for current Preview Release users.

There is an rpm avalible -> ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/download....PR1.8.i386.rpm
It's labeled Fedora Other, so It's probably fot FedoraCore3test version.
But you can probably use it on FC2. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong.)

It depends on 'desktop-file-utils'.
Because firefox 0.10.1 uses new 'Open File' 'Save As' GNOME integrated dialogue.
I use Fedora Other rpm found here -> ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/download....0.9-1.i386.rpm

Thanks - that patch was a snap to install.

You don't need an rpm to update - just click on the update link on the mozilla website page and firefox will download and autoinstall the patch for you in 5 seconds flat. Just exit and restart the browser and you're done.

I absolutely love it when things are this simple and actually work
