Mozilla Patches 12 Firefox Flaws
Mozilla Corporation updated its Firefox browser last night to patch a 12 vulnerabilities, 5 of them tagged “critical.”
Firefox 1.5.0.4 is the fourth security update to the 1.5 edition of the browser since it released last November. The number of holes plugged in 1.5.0.4, however, is only half that of April’s mega-patch, when 24 total, 11 of them “critical,” were fixed.
According to the Official Mozilla site:
Firefox 1.5.0.4 is a security update that is part of our ongoing program to provide a safe Internet experience for our customers. We recommend that all users upgrade to this latest version.

I always wonder what in particular is being fixed when these patches download automatically. Is there a page that tells what is being fixed in each update?
