FireFox's new version released
Mozilla has released a new version of its popular open source browser Firefox three days ago fixing security problems which occur when it is combined with Microsoft's Internet Explorer on desktops.
Secunia, an Internet security firm, had discovered that hackers were using a loophole in Firefox to download malicious data on to the computer. The malware then makes use of the Internet Explorer to create trouble.
The new Firefox 2.0.0.6 version contains a security patch which reduces the risk of malware being passed on.
Mozilla and MS initially blamed each other for the security flaw. However, Mozilla later decided to release a new version of its browser and not just an update. But MS has not done anything to sort out a similar problem in Internet Explorer, though security experts have put the blame on both.
