Following Mozilla's release plan of regular updates, the ninth maintenance release of Firefox 3 is here. Packaged with security and stability fixes by default, it also contains some other fixes and is a recommended download for all Firefox users.

With nine security fixes it is a heavy load, even though Firefox 3.0.8 was released prematurely for security reasons. However only one is deemed critical and involves memory corruption. Two high issues revolve around same-origin violations using XMLHttpRequest, XPCNativeWrapper.toString() and Adobe Flash.

Besides security it also includes stability fixes and addresses several other issues, such as: a corrupted local database leading to the loss of cookies, inline image attachments not appearing with popular web mail clients, sometimes long forms take longer to submit, and more.

You can download the full binary from Mozilla's site, or if not done automatically, trigger the auto-update system using Help > Check for Updates (except Linux users depending on repositories).
