If you like your computer to have that ‘new browser’ smell then you’re in luck as both Microsoft and Mozilla have released updates to their respective browsers.
As we have talked about previously, it’s probably not been the best of times for Microsofts’ Internet Explorer, not just the Google-China incident, but also the warnings issued by both the German and French governments.
UK IT site ‘The Register’ is reporting that anti-virus maker Symantec (creators of the Norton suite of applications) have said that the vulnerability is being exploited on “hundreds of websites”.
The patch for Internet Explorer addressing this issue can be found on Microsoft Update and through the normal windows update services.
Mozilla have just released version 3.6 of their popular browser, Firefox. This update should be warmly greeted by web developers as it features many new behind-the-scenes features such as support for the Web Open Font Format, CSS gradients, and improvements to its HTML5 support. Users shouldn’t feel left out however, Firefox 3.6 also boasts faster startup times, a 20% boost in Javascript speed, and new “Personas” to allow further customisation of the interface.
Firefox 3.6 can be downloaded from the Firefox site.
