Firefox vulnerablility

Quote:
FireFox Vulnerability
It looks like there's another vulnerability in a browser, and it has nothing to do with IE. Neowin provides the heads up.

The Mozilla Foundation has once again released an interim version of its popular Firefox browser. Firefox 0.10.1 addresses a new security vulnerability which could allow a hacker to delete files from a user's download directory.
You can either Auto-Update your browser, or hit this link to install the security update for yourself.

The new update system works great, I got the patch in 5 seconds, I didn't even have to restart Firefox IIRC.
