Some of the new features include Composer enhancements, Chatzilla logging, multiple tab window closing confirmation, and quicksearch support in about:config.

  3. CERT Advisory 7/22/2003: Mozilla Root Compromise by Taco_Is_Ghey · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    CERT has issued an advisory related to a root hole in all versions of Mozilla through the 1.5 beta, exploiting an unchecked buffer in the DNS reply parser. Exploits have been released publicly and are currently being used to compromise machines and propagate further attacks. All users of the Mozilla web browser are encouraged to upgrade now. The Gaping Security Hole is pictured in Figure 1.
