If you already have Firefox 0.10 installed, you can go to Tools, Options, and choose Advanced, go to Software Updates and choose Check Now to grab the patch.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
--slashdot

Why the poster keeps calling it .10 instead of 1.0 I don't know. But regardless thats what they mean. It takes about 3 seconds on a broadband connection to perform the update. And no reboot is nessesary.

    IT should be above "other systems and languages"... did you configure adblock to be like, really super strict or something?

    Anyway, the "otehr systems and languages" will probably have it too.

    Never mind that. Heres the direct link: <a href='http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/0.10.1/Firefox%20Setup%201.0PR.exe' target='_blank'>http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/fir...tup%201.0PR.exe</a>

    ctrl + f5 ftw.

    There should be a green box on top right saying "Free Download"

    I just left the settings default, and I hit refresh several times and I get the same site again.

    <3 Firefox. I hope they come up with a way to get more publicity, because it's going to take a lot to compete with IE.

    It shows up because FF dies because of a bug iirc.
