As expected the third maintenance released hit the ground today, sporting stability and security fixes. And as such all Firefox users are recommended to update as soon as possible.

Although a maintenance release, we already know from a previous post that this release actually comes with one security feature: detection of Adobe Flash Player plug-in. Once an old version is detected a web page will be displayed urging you to upgrade.

Other than that there are three critical security issues fixed, related to: chrome privilege escalation with FeedWriter, TreeColumns dangling pointer vulnerability, and crashes with evidence of memory corruption. One minor security issue was fixed which was about the location bar spoofing via tall line-height Unicode characters.

For the other changes, please refer to the bug list. As said before, everyone using Firefox is encouraged to update as soon as possible. If Firefox does not prompt directly for an update, go to Help > Check for Updates... or you can download the full binary from Mozilla's site.
