Amid plenty of hype, Mozilla launched a final version of Firefox 3.5 just under a month ago, only to find that the release was riddled with a selection of bugs.
Earlier this week, Mozilla officially confirmed that a critical JavaScript vulnerability exists in Firefox 3.5, adding that the flaw could be exploited by attackers to execute malicious code.
To the developer's credit, a fix is now available in the form of Firefox 3.5.1 and users are being urged to upgrade. Users of Firefox 3.5 should automatically be prompted to upgrade in the next 48 hours, but those in a hurry can click on "Check for Updates" in Firefox's Help menu.
The update fixes a total of 22 bugs, seven of which are rated as critical.
