Mozilla updates Firefox and Camino, Firefox Beta 3 on the horizon
Mozilla has been busy in Patch-land (you know, the place right next to Never-Never land?), and Firefox 3 is almost one step closer to complete. Today Mozilla has released updates to both its Firefox and Camino web browser. Firefox 2.0.0.12 stomps out a reported 11 bugs, including one that posed a security threat to users who had installed any of the add-ons for the open-source browser. Camino 1.5.5 includes an update of the Gecko rendering engine and improves blocking of Flash animations and ad-blocking, among other fixes.
The updates can be downloaded from the browser's respective websites or from the browser's built-in updaters.
These new updates come along with news of the Firefox Beta 3 release date, which is pegged as February 11, next Monday. It has also been decided that a Beta 4 will be released later this month (tentatively scheduled for February 26) due to Mozilla's desire to clean up the Windows, Linux and Mac OSX themes and overall visual look.
