Firefox 2.0.0.4 and Firefox 1.5.0.12 Security and Stability Update

[Basil Hashem]

As part of Mozilla Corporation’s ongoing stability and security  
update process, Firefox 1.5.0.12 and Firefox 2.0.0.4 are now  
available for Windows, Mac, and Linux for free download from http:// 
getfirefox.com.

Due to the security fixes, we strongly recommend that all Firefox  
users upgrade to these latest releases.

Note: We anticipate this to be the last release in the Firefox  
1.5.0.x series. Mozilla typically maintains support for previous  
releases for six months after a major release. Mozilla has previously  
extended the planned end of life for the 1.5.0.x series in order to  
accommodate some recent changes in update functionality. Firefox  
1.5.0.12 is available for download from http://www.mozilla.com/ 
firefox/all-older.html but all users are encouraged to upgrade to  
Firefox 2.

If you already have Firefox 1.5.0.x or Firefox 2.0.0.x, you will  
receive an automated update notification within 24 to 48 hours. This  
update can also be applied manually by selecting “Check for Updates…”  
from the Help menu starting later today.

For a list of changes and more information, please review the Firefox  
1.5.0.12 Release Notes (http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ 
releases/1.5.0.12.html) and the Firefox 2.0.0.4 Release Notes (http:// 
en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/2.0.0.4/releasenotes/).

Over the coming weeks, Mozilla will be presenting 1.5.0.12 users with  
a notification message that will offer users a "major update" to  
Firefox 2. Upon confirmation, a user's browser will be upgraded from  
1.5.0.12 to 2.0.0.4.
