This is great news for FF users. Way to go Mozilla! Fast responses to security problems for their browser is what keeps their valued users on FF. One the resasons why I love FF is because of this. Keep up the good work!!

I agree, but I always wondered, how the heck do they make any money at all?

They still haven't fixed the problem with the YAHOO homepage. Those jerks randomly hi-jack users from Yahoo.com and switch them to m.yahoo.com. IE 7 has a place, where can put this pesky unwanted link into the red restricted sites box. It won't hi-jack me any more. ou can't permanently block a certain website with Firefox and be done with doing it forever...

I'm not sure about this, but perhaps it's possible with an add-on?

The only problem I see with this version is that it seems to be unstable. I have it on 3 machines and Firefox routinely crashes on all 3 of them. Haste makes waste.

Using 3.1 here... crashes when it closes (of all things) and when refreshing Gmail.

Seems to be working fine on my other two comps.

I've been having the same stability issues as well as the hijac problems for some time now. I'm personally going to wait a few more versions before jumping back is because I don't think they have ironed out all the bugs yet.
