Released today, the third update to version 1.5 of Mozilla Firefox provides a fix for denial of service vulnerability. The update was quick and painless, and Firefox did it automatically!

Either I don't understand what you mean by that, or it is not accurate. The copy of Firefox on this machine certainly did not update itself (nor should it, being run from a user account, as that is a system-wide change.)
Let's see:
$ firefox --version
Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.2, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2006 mozilla.org
No, I'm still safely on the pre-existing version (as I believed would be the case.) Now I can go investigate a *controlled* upgrade if I so choose, for all the users on this machine.
I think that it was actually at a certain time, and if your Firefox wasn't running at that certain time, it was not automatic.
You're in Easy Mode. If you prefer, you can use XHTML Mode instead. |
