I was browsing the web and a nice pop-up window indicated that there was an update to FireFox which then prompted me to download and install the new version of the browser.
According to the website PC Advisor the main reason for the early update was due to one major bug although they classify it as being minor.
Mozilla said that the patched bug, though rated as a low threat, could be used by attackers to run a rudimentary port scan of systems within the same perimeter as the victimized machine. The attacker, however, would have to craft a malicious website and host it on an FTP server and then con users into visiting the page.
Interesting nonetheless and you should always update your browser to the newest available version if at all possible. You never know as this fix may save you from being affected by the fixed bug in FireFox 2.0.0.3.
I apologize about the lacking updates. I am actually in the process of moving from one shop to another. We lost our contract and got outbid by another company. Thus I am left with not much work and not many fixes that I could jot down and report to each and every one of you.
I’m moving to an entirely new location where I have a lot more space. I think this is good and bad. For one, I’ll be leaving behind a work location that was not even five minutes from home. At this time I am actually at home on my lunch break writing this post out. I will go back to work in a few minutes after I finish this post. Like I said though it’s good and bad; I have a lot more room and space to fix computers and won’t be so overcrowded when I get there. I’ll be able to often times if I have to leave my camera overnight to make sure I have it the next day to take pictures of all of the things I’m working on. I know pictures help out tons when you’re trying to disassemble your notebook or even your desktop computer.
So in ending this, I just ask for your patience and I hope you continue to come back in the mean time. Until then, aloha.
