Firefox 16.0.2 Released to Fix Critical Security Issue

Posted on 3:54 PM by Unknown

Mozilla released version 16.0.2 to address a critical security issue which, if unfixed, could be combined with some plugins to perform a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack on users.


Security Update Fixed in Firefox 16.0.2

  • MFSA 2012-90 Fixes for Location object issues

Update

To get the update now, select "Help" from the Firefox menu at the upper left of the browser window, then pick "About Firefox."  Mac users need to select "About Firefox" from the Firefox menu.

If you do not use the English language version, Fully Localized Versions are available for download.
