Firefox3 update fixes crashes
A little more than a month after the successful release of Firefox 3, the Mozilla team has released an update to fix common stability issues and security problems. Firefox 3.0.1 was released yesterday by the development team.
Firefox 3.0.1 fixes a problem with the phishing and malware database which did not update on first launch and an error in saving the SSL exceptions list.
The update also fixes a common printing error in which certain regions of the content was missing when being printed.
Linux users that struggled with the default "Offline" mode for Firefox 3 when using PPP connections will be pleased that a small change has fixed this.
In certain cases, installing Firefox 2 in the same directory in which Firefox 3 was installed resulted in Firefox 2 being unstable. This issue was fixed as part of Firefox 2.0.0.15 and in this update.
