Mozilla on Feb. 23 released updated versions of the Firefox browser, v1.5.0.10 and v2.0.0.2, for Windows, Mac and Linux, which include the fix for a major security flaw.
The “location.hostname” vulnerability potentially allowed hackers to tamper with authentication cookies for third-party sites, manipulating how Web sites are displayed and how they operate, Mozilla said.
“We strongly recommend that all Firefox users upgrade to this latest release,” said Mike Schroepfer, vice president of engineering for Mozilla, in Mountain View, Calif.
