Get firefox 3.5.2 to fix more issues and Vulnerabilities


Firefox 3.5.2 fixes the following issues:

Impact key:

  1. Critical: Vulnerability can be used to run attacker code and install software, requiring no user interaction beyond normal browsing.
  2. High: Vulnerability can be used to gather sensitive data from sites in other windows or inject data or code into those sites, requiring no more than normal browsing actions.
  3. Moderate: Vulnerabilities that would otherwise be High or Critical except they only work in uncommon non-default configurations or require the user to perform complicated and/or unlikely steps.
  4. Low: Minor security vulnerabilities such as Denial of Service attacks, minor data leaks, or spoofs. (Undetectable spoofs of SSL indicia would have "High" impact because those are generally used to steal sensitive data intended for other sites.)

Fixed in Firefox 3.5.2

MFSA 2009-46 Chrome privilege escalation due to incorrectly cached wrapper
MFSA 2009-45 Crashes with evidence of memory corruption (rv:1.9.1.2/1.9.0.13)

MFSA 2009-43 Heap overflow in certificate regexp parsing

opera is best browser in terms of vulnerability ,just that it doesnt posses much addons and more featires

I must agree about Opera. It uses less memory than Firefox, which is good, but on the other hand Firefox has MUCH more add-ons. And that's why it is the most useful browser IMO.

chrome is too not bad choice ,no addons will too soon emerge out , just it consumes mindblowing memory ,but the most safest one !

firefox is best than any other browser thats why even google distributes Mozilla Firefox with Google Toolbar , wonder wat was the reason chrome was made ,just for support of CHROME OS
