Brief Hands-On Report--Mozilla released Firefox 2.0.0.1 Security Update
According to the Release Notes the following security issues were fixed in this update:
MFSA 2006-76 XSS using outer window's Function object
MFSA 2006-75 RSS Feed-preview referrer leak
MFSA 2006-73 Mozilla SVG Processing Remote Code Execution
MFSA 2006-72 XSS by setting img.src to javascript: URI

Five of the last six are listed as critical.
We downloaded a copy from MacUpdate.com and installed it with no problems. Fortunately, our favorite Firefox theme Nautipolis 1.7.0 by Alfred Kayser is still good but there is an update to 1.7.03 so we installed it. We surfed to a number of pages with java applets for making payments, etc. and found no problems. Firefox 2 is remarkably fast. [Bill Fox]
