Brief Hands-On Report--Mozilla released Thunderbird 2.0.0.6

2004–09August 2, 2007Bill FoxReviews
Mozilla released Thunderbird 2.0.0.6, its stand-alone email client. It is available for download via "Check for Updates" under the Help menu or as a stand-alone file from this Mozilla Web page.

Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 has these two security updates:

  • MFSA 2007-27 Unescaped URIs passed to external programs
  • MFSA 2007-26 Privilege escalation through chrome-loaded about:blank windows

These are the same as for Firefox 2.0.0.6 released on Monday. A similar SeaMonkey update should follow shortly.

We downloaded and installed version 2.0.0.6 via Check for Updates under the Help menu. No issues were encountered during installation nor in several hours of receiving and sending email. [Bill Fox]
