Firefox 3.5.1 Released

Posted by timothy on from the dot-oh-always-begs-for-fixes dept.

alek writes "A day after Slashdot reports about a self-inflicted vulnerability in Firefox 3.5, Mozilla releases 3.5.1. It addresses that security issue, but also fixes the annoying slow-startup on Windows. Bummer the UNIX wars have subsided, because apparently they also had to fix a problem where Firefox on a Sparc platform would crash when visiting www.hp.com!"

    If you need build instructions, and you don't know how to search for them, then you shouldn't be building anything, stupid. Just download the binary and RUN IT. If you can't do that, then your Mama is probably gonna spank you for messing with her computer anyway. Walk away from the machine NOW, before you are caught.

    I also haven't seen a decent office suite, graphics software, audio software, video editing software or game on Linux either. It's not hard to remain stable when your OS doesn't actually do anything, but even then I've seen Linux crash plenty of times.
