New Firefox release

Mozilla Fundation has published a new release of their sucessfull web browser Mozilla Firefox. This release (1.5.0.3)is published to solve a vulnerability categorized as Highly critical by Secunia in his advisory.

You can download it from Mozilla and it's available in multiple languages.

Firefox is a browser based in the source code of Mozilla Web Browser, and previously from Netscape Navigator, that is eating every month market share from Internet Explorer. Looking for a few statistics I have found a browser market share from W3Schools giving a 25% of the market to Firefox, and the worse I have found give a market share of 10,68% to Firefox and rising.

Anyway it's clear that Firefox is the direct competitor of Internet Explorer, you only have to look at the new design of IExplorer 7 to see how Microsoft is learning from the OpenSource guys ;-)
