It looks like there was a bit of a security problem with my favorite web browser, so they dilligently released a patched version. The security problem is similar to something a lot of folks got very upset about in the Macintosh world(see Daring Fireball), namely that a rogue link could cause your system to execute commands. A writeup on this is available at Bugzilla, though there is probably something a bit more human-readable out there somewhere. I must say that I’m rather disappointed in the text blurb that accompanies the 0.9.2 upgrade on the Mozilla site; it gives no up-front admission of the potentially serious security issue. It smacks of the older attitudes of Microsoft and the still poor attitudes of Apple in the face of quality assurance issues.

That being said, go upgrade your Firefox, Thunderbird, and/or Mozilla when you get a chance to. Better safe than sorry, a stitch in time saves nine, and all that good stuff.
