Firefox 1.0.4 Release Candidate Patches Bugs

vulnerabilities

The Windows, Mac, and Linux versions of Firefox 1.0.4 can be downloaded from the Firefox FTP server.

Like the three previous updates released this year, 1.0.4 is a bug fix, in this case one that plugs a cross-scripting vulnerability which could let an attacker gain control of a Firefox-equipped computer if its user simply surfs to a malicious site.

The time from release candidate to final is typically short in Firefox security updates; it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for Firefox 1.0.4 to wrap by the end of the week.
