Firefox 3.5.1 Released

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!"

    "...fix a problem where Firefox on a Sparc platform would crash when visiting www.hp.com!" Much like the memory leak to nowhere, It wasn't a problem - it was a feature!

    So what your saying is Microsoft could fix all of their problems by changing the color of the screen?

    Microsoft tried that twice on the Xbox 360, and people continued to complain about the red ring of death (general hardware failure) and the green screen of death (E74 error).
