Fixes stability
issues found in last week’s 3.5.4
It has been a little over a week since Mozilla last released
updates for its Firefox browser, and now the time has come again to implement
additional stability updates. Recently, the engineering team released
Firefox 3.5.5 which fixes a total of five stability bugs.
On a usual schedule, Mozilla offers Firefox 3.5.x and 3.0.x
updates in tandem. However, there was an exception made as of last week. On
October 27th, Mozilla released Firefox 3.5.4 and Firefox 3.0.15 with their
respective stability and security updates. However, it appears that
insufficient testing was carried out on 3.5.4 which necessitated the need for
the team to release 3.5.5 in a little over a week’s time.
The five new stability fixes include crashing in the GIF decoder, a
startup crash relating to the graphics core, an HTML parsing error, crashes in
the DOM component, and crashes in the XPCOM component. The complete list of
changes can be found here.
Mozilla Firefox 3.5.5 can be downloaded here.
