FireFox 3.0.1 is out

[Chadder007]

It just showed up as a downloadable update when I opened Firefox.
Looks like a security and stability update release point.



Firefox 3.0.1 fixed several issues found in Firefox 3.

* Fixed several security issues.
* Fixed several stability issues.
* Fixed an issue where the phishing and malware database did not update on first launch.
* Under certain circumstances, Firefox 3.0 did not properly save the SSL certificate exceptions list.
* Updated the internal Public Suffix list.
* In certain cases, installing Firefox 2 in the same directory in which Firefox 3 has been installed resulted in Firefox 2 being unstable. This issue was fixed as part of Firefox 2.0.0.15.
* Fixed an issue where, when printing a selected region of content from the middle of a page, some of the output was missing (bug 433373).
* Fixed a Linux issues where, for users on a PPP connection (dialup or DSL) Firefox always started in "Offline" mode (bug 424626).

Thanks for the heads-up. I didn't realize until I saw the "check for update" menu item as "restart firefox".

OK well I thought it might be there as an update, guess I'll uninstall all of it and install 3...

THANKS

Mine is crashing every time I try to use the vertical scrollbar via a left mouse click, hold, and drag. Works fine if I use the scroll wheel on the mouse instead.

Das Fox, keep your old version.. imo firefox 3.0 and 3.01 are still alpha and not yet beta. Lots of problems.

On two pcs so far where more than one user, the users where firefox not directly installed got downgraded to safe mode.

In about five or six other pcs, plug-ins that you download from the site did not play well with firefox. While maybe not directly a firefox issue.. they should really test the plug ins to make sure they work before encouraging users to download them.
