Mozilla updates Firefox to fix more security issues

Mozilla Foundation continues to suffer security issues with their much-touted safe web browser Mozilla Firefox as we get another minor update.

The latest version of Mozilla Firefox is Firefox 1.5.0.3 and it fixes a denial of service vulnerability.

The open source foundation recommends the users of existing versions to upgrade to the latest secure release to be safe of any bugs and issues. This latest bug was discovered by Martijn Wargers and Nick Mott.

This bug is technically related to how Firefox handles JavaScript code. Interestingly, the users of older Firefox 1.0 browsers and the Mozilla Suite 1.7 are not affected by the flaw. Users of recent versions of this popular open source browser should get the update automatically through the internal mechanism of the application.

Mozilla Developers added that they postponed several feature inclusion to release this quick update to fix the security vulnerability in the current versions.
