Mozilla on Wednesday released two new versions of its browser, Firefox 3.5.3 and 3.0.14, that patch three critical security holes and fix assorted other bugs.
The updates can be found through the Help menu's Check for Updates option, or can be downloaded directly.
Although Mozilla still supports the 3.0 version, it's pushing people to the 3.5 version, and support for the 3.0 series will end in a few months. Version 3.5, released in June, supports a variety of new web page technologies and includes a faster JavaScript engine for running web-based programs.

It would be nice to see a few comments berating Mozilla from producing an insecure browser from all those people that constantly kncked Microsoft a couple of years back. Now that Firefox is becoming a bit more mainstream the hackers are paying it more attention so finding vulnerabilities. It's the cost of success which Apple are now finding having also spent years saying how much more secure OS X was compared to Windows. Suddenly we're seeing lots of reports about Apple issueing security patches.
Oddly all those afficionados of Apple are deathly quiet about how insecure Windows is.
