Yet another Firefox update
Mozilla has released another security patch for the Firefox browser, available for Windows and Mac. The changes are minor enough so that users probably won't notice any differences, but the holes plugged were potentially serious exploits.
Four notable fixes address memory corruption leading to program crashes, JavaScript hacking, and two attempts to plug spoofing from HTTP referrers and XUL pop-ups. There's not much else to report for this update, but we can almost definitely expect more security patches before Firefox 3 leaves beta sometime this summer.

Before I install the new Update I already have the firefox 3 beta installed on my XP pro machine.
All my extensions were messed up (which can be fixed by deleting all the files in your profile folder that starts with extensions.(whatever) and restarting firefox).
I also seem to have a problem with the speeddial extension.
Also, whenever I try to use it to check e-mail or google or anything else, it still hangs until I close it and then randomly shuts down about 10-20 minutes later so I can restart the process.
Congrats, security-hole-fixer, you've broken my firefox.
