Major Firefox patch due out shortly.
The open-source Mozilla project this week will release an update to its Firefox browser that will fix a publicly disclosed security issue in the software. News of the update came as developers also confirmed that they were dropping a highly anticipated bookmarking feature, called Places, from the next major Firefox release, due later this year.
A spokewoman for Mozilla said the patch will be out in the early part of this week. This patch from 1.5.0.2 to 1.5.0.3 was originally due out last Friday.
