Mozilla developers released the latest version of their Firefox browser Tuesday, version 3.0.6, which fixes several security bugs in the software.

The most critical issues are bugs in the browser's JavaScript and layout engines that could be exploited by attackers to run unauthorized software on a victim's PC, Mozilla said. The flaws also affect Mozilla's Thunderbird e-mail client and SeaMonkey Internet software suite.

IE Sends Mozilla a New Cake for Firefox 3

I just saw an article by Ryan Paul on the Internet Explorer team at Microsoft sending a cake to the Firefox 3 team at http://arstechnica.com/journals/linux.ars/2008/06/17/the-cake-is-a-lie-ie-team-bakes-a-treat-for-mozilla

“In honor of today's Firefox 3 release, Microsoft's Internet Explorer team gave a cake to Mozilla. The tasty treat, which prominently displays IE's blue "e" icon, just arrived here at Mozilla headquarters in Mountain View.”

“The cake congratulates Mozilla on shipping Firefox 3 and expresses love from the IE team. Microsoft's IE developers also sent a cake to Mozilla in 2006 following the release of Firefox 2, so this is clearly becoming a tradition.”


Over the years I have seen many such things happen like this. They always make me smile. It reminds us all what a small world we live in. The article goes on to say “Closer cooperation between Microsoft and Mozilla on standards and web innovation would be a big win for everyone.”.
