 Mozilla is looking at delivering its own remedy for a Windows flaw that could let attackers commandeer a PC running the Microsoft operating system software.
Microsoft broke with its monthly patch cycle this week to fix the bug, which cybercrooks had been using since late last week to attack Windows PCs. The flaw relates to the way Windows handles animated cursors and could let an attacker commandeer a PC when the user views a malicious Web site or e-mail message.

Firefox 3.0, Alpha 3: Gran Paradiso
Permalink  
 


This past Monday, Mozilla unveiled the third alpha of Gran Paradiso, the code name for Firefox 3.0. If development goes according to plan, this will be the first version of Firefoxor of any browser, for that matterto have the three key components needed to support offline Web applications: DOM Storage; an offline execution model; and synchronization. That critical foundation will let free or low-cost Web suites compete with Microsoft software and possibly break the company's decades-long domination in office productivity apps.

20 must-have Firefox extensions
A freshly installed copy of Firefox is a great software package, but what makes this open-source browser so special is the ability to customise it via extensions and themes to really make it yours. The problem is, there are so many available add-ins, it's tough to know what's worth installing and what's just going to junk up your system.

Mozilla has released updated versions of the Firefox browser, v1.5.0.10 and v2.0.0.2, for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems.
The patch closes a major security flaw called the 'location.hostname vulnerability'.
The fix stops hackers from being able to tamper with how websites are displayed.

Plug-ins, add-ons, extensions -- call them what you will. They are the reason Firefox is the browser of choice among web-savvy users.
Add-ons exist for other popular web browsers such as Opera, Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 and Apple's Safari. But unlike those other browsers, Firefox is open-source, and that has led to the formation of an extremely active development community.
On Monday, The Mozilla Corporation, which oversees the development of all things Firefox, is relaunching the Firefox add-ons community site. With the redesign, the organization hopes to enhance the ability of add-on developers to collaborate and test each other's creations.
