Your Brand New and More Secure Firefox Is Here

The folks at Mozilla rolled out a new Firefox version which is supposed to correct all the flaws discovered in the previous versions and keep the customers secure while browsing the web. Although the 2.0.0.10 release patches several Firefox bugs, the new update is mostly addressed to correct security issues reported to the company. For example, Mozilla rolled out a security advisory titled "Memory corruption vulnerabilities" which attempts to describe the security improvements included in the latest release of the browser. "The Firefox 2.0.0.10 update contains fixes for three bugs that improve the stability of the product. These crashes showed some evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code."

Mozilla has always been regarded as the more secure alternative to Internet Explorer, the default browser included in the Windows operating system which also has millions of users just like the Firefox rival. The rivalry between Internet Explorer and Firefox is enhanced especially by the security features, which might convince an important part of the users to choose one of the two technologies. However, the Redmond employees are also striving to get their web-browser closer to the rival's and let the Windows user browse the web without any risk.

The latest release of Internet Explorer is regarded as being the safest version of the Microsoft web browser ever released. Its implementation in Windows Vista makes it even more secure as the new Windows flavor comes with several security features supposed to defend the users.

But Mozilla doesn't want to wait any longer and prepares the 3.0 release of Firefox, codename Gran Paradiso, that bundles several security utilities to protect the users in front of the numerous web attacks launched these days. In fact, we all need such a thing since the hackers are attempting to exploit every single vulnerability discovered in our installed applications in a move meant to bring them complete control over an affected system.
