Two Critical Security Holes Found in FireFox

For those of you who surf with Mozilla's FireFox browser, make sure you upgrade to FireFox version 1.0.3.

Apparantly there have been two "potentially critical" security holes found in FireFox. Here is an excerpt from Security Advisory on Mozilla.org:
"Security Advisory (May 8, 2005) The Mozilla Foundation is aware of two
potentially critical Firefox security vulnerabilities as reported publicly
Saturday, May 7th. There are currently no known active exploits of these
vulnerabilities although a "proof of concept" has been reported. Changes to the
Mozilla Update web service have been made to mitigate the risk of an exploit.
Mozilla is aggressively working to provide a more comprehensive solution to
these potential vulnerabilities and will provide that solution in a forthcoming
security update. Users can further protect themselves today by temporarily
disabling JavaScript."

For information, check out the article Two Critical and Unpatched Flaws Found In Firefox Browser on All Headline News.

I was using FireFox for a short time, but I am now using Maxthon.
