    Good news for FF fans... most of the bugs in the FF 3.0 are fixed in the updated version.

    I think its time for me to uninstall ff 2.0.0.15 finally... now ff 3 will be the standard.



    Firefox 3.0.1 was released a few hours ago. The relatively minor update does, however, fix a number of security and stability errors in the original 3.0 release.

    Among the fixes in 3.0.1 are fixes for common crashes, a fix for the phishing and malware database which did not update on first launch and an error in saving the SSL exceptions list. The update also fixes a common printing error in which certain regions of the content was missing. For Linux users the faulty “offline” default bug has been fixed.

    Firefox 3.0.1 can be downloaded from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/.
