    I'm not sure if this is the right forum but i'll put it here anyway for those interested. There's been an update for firefox released just a few hours ago that fixes some earlier bugs. You can get it here - www.getfirefox.com

    for lazy people.........

    What's New 1.0.1
    Important Note

    If you are experiencing a crash when entering text into the address bar, you can correct the problem by removing the autocomplete.xpt file from your Firefox components directory, for example C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\components. To avoid this crash, do not install a new installer build on top of an older zipped build.

    Here's what's new in Firefox 1.0.1:
    Improved stability
    International Domain Names are now displayed as punycode. (To show International Domain Names in Unicode, set the "network.IDN_show_punycode" preference to false.)

    Several security fixes:

    Fixed in Firefox 1.0.1
    MFSA 2005-29 Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) homograph spoofing
    MFSA 2005-28 Unsafe /tmp/plugtmp directory exploitable to erase user's files
    MFSA 2005-27 Plugins can be used to load privileged content
    MFSA 2005-26 Cross-site scripting by dropping javascript: link on tab
    MFSA 2005-25 Image drag and drop executable spoofing
    MFSA 2005-24 HTTP auth prompt tab spoofing
    MFSA 2005-23 Download dialog source spoofing
    MFSA 2005-22 Download dialog spoofing using Content-Disposition header
    MFSA 2005-21 Overwrite arbitrary files downloading .lnk twice
    MFSA 2005-20 XSLT can include stylesheets from arbitrary hosts
    MFSA 2005-19 Autocomplete data leak
    MFSA 2005-18 Memory overwrite in string library
    MFSA 2005-17 Install source spoofing with user:pass@host
    MFSA 2005-16 Spoofing download and security dialogs with overlapping windows
    MFSA 2005-15 Heap overflow possible in UTF8 to Unicode conversion
    MFSA 2005-14 SSL "secure site" indicator spoofing
    MFSA 2005-13 Window Injection Spoofing
