So Firefox has released some much-needed fixes.  From memory corruption to privilege escalation.

While it’s nice to see such high priority fixes being worked on, one can’t help but wonder what “Forced mouse drag” was doing in the lot with them.  Still, any security hole that gets boarded up is one less attack route.

What I’m personally really hoping to see is that Firefox 3 can finally address its incredible slowness in closing.  Since Firefox 2 didn’t suffer from such a horrible fate, I know it must be possible to resolve.  Just as the spell checker being suddenly dumber than a brick in Firefox 3 when it was actually useful in Firefox 2.  Can we please just revert that code if nothing else?

Anywho, so at least Mozilla is trying.  They are fixing the turd that is Firefox 3.  Maybe it’ll even eventually, one day, be as useful as Firefox 2 was.

Now if they’d only design it so that you can turn off and hide features that you don’t want…
