Less than a week after the discovery of critical flaws in Mozilla's Firefox browser, the organisation has released a fix.

The Mozilla Foundation is urging users to upgrade their browsers to the new version 1.0.4, which is available for download immediately. Versions are available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

"We are still working to get the rest of the localisations ready and the update notifications live, but if you're in a hurry the English/US build of Firefox 1.0.4 is now available for download," said Asa Doltzer, product release manager for Firefox.

The new version fixes the security holes and includes improved dynamic HTML handling after a bug was found in version 1.0.3 of the browser.

Firefox was launched last year and is currently the second most popular browser on the market, after Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Over 2.5 million copies were downloaded from the organisation's website in March.

Many web browsers are easier to use than Internet Explorer and less susceptible to hackers and other threats  25 Feb 2005
