Some critical security and stability updates have been made available for my favorite Internet browser, Firefox, as well as my favorite e-mail client, Thunderbird.

As part of Mozilla Corporation's ongoing stability and security update process, Firefox 1.5.0.9, Firefox 2.0.0.1, and Thunderbird 1.5.0.9 are now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux for free download from getfirefox.com & getthunderbird.com.

We strongly recommend that all Firefox users upgrade to this latest release. This update is available immediately in 41 languages including Spanish, Japanese, Arabic, Hungarian, and more.

For those of you that procrastinate, it is also probably good to note that the folks at Mozilla are also recommending Firefox 1.5 users to go ahead and upgrade to Firefox 2.   That recommendation is based on the fact that support for Firefox 1.5 will officially end on April 24, 2007.  You can read more about this latest Firefox and Thunderbird release on Mozilla.org's Press Releases and Announcement page.
