Mozilla updates Firefox to address serious security bugs

Mozilla released an update to its popular web browser on Tuesday to address security flaws an attacker could utilize to run unauthorized software on a victims machine. Firefox 3.0.6 is available to download from AfterDawn now. The update also fixes a reported issue which caused parts of a screen to be improperly displayed after Firefox has been running for a long time. Other fixes include improved ability for scripted commands to work with plugins.
