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.
