Skipping a release, Mozilla has issued an update for Firefox bringing it up to 3.6.2. This (semi) standard maintenance release contains mostly fixes to polish the current stable release.

Although no direct explanation is given on why this is 3.6.2 instead of 3.6.1, which actually gives more ammo for Google approach for Chrome of making it irrelevant for the end user, it does contain some interesting bits that we all want.

As this is the first maintenance release of Firefox 3.6 it fixes a large series of stability bugs that have affected people. However most importantly is are the security issues that have been addressed, of which one critical. This critical issue could allow remote code execution and therefor makes this release a highly recommended update.

As always, if Firefox doesn't pick up the update you can trigger it from the Help menu. If you want the entire download you can get it from the usual place for all supported platforms.
