Firefox Dirty Dozen
Mozilla has released Firefox 3.6.11 with patches for a dozen security holes, some serious enough to launch attacks if a user simply surfs to a booby-trapped website.
In all, the open-source released nine bulletins documenting 12 security vulnerabilities. Five of the bulletins are rated “critical,” meaning that those vulnerabilities can be exploited to run attacker code and install software, requiring no user interaction beyond normal browsing.

Re: Firefox Dirty Dozen
This is why you should use Opera. Firefox has been patching a slew of major vulnerabilities at least once per month (sometimes twice) for the past 2 years.

Re: Firefox Dirty Dozen
Been using Opera again for a minute now, but I miss the extended functionality that Firefox has via extensions...I mean, for what I do online, there just isn't a suitable replacement...
