New version of Firefox due next week

Mozilla will rush another version of Firefox to users as early as next week, in order to fix five bugs it introduced in its latest security update.

According to the company’s user interface designer, Firefox 2.0.0.8 patched ten vulnerabilities, including three critical flaws, but unfortunately it also shipped with five regression bugs - problems unintentionally introduced when code was changed to plug other holes.

“Most users won't see any difference or experience any problems,” said Mike Beltzner of Mozilla in a posting to the company’s development centre blog. “We’re working fast to understand and fix these problems, and will shortly be issuing a 2.0.0.9 update to address them.”
