Latest Firefox flakey

[Marts]

The latest version of Mozilla's Firefox browser has been taken offline after a security vulnerability was discovered.

Users who had upgraded to version 16 were advised to downgrade to the previous safe release until Firefox developers released a fix.

The vulnerability allowed "a malicious site to potentially determine which websites users have visited", Mozilla said.

The non-profit company said that only a "limited number of users are affected".

The download had been taken offline within a day of its initial release, the organisation's UK spokesman said.

Some users were upgraded automatically to the new version, but are now being advised to uninstall the updates.

Don't know if it's just my computer or Firefox, but the last few versions haven't run that great on my computer...seems to bog down sometimes...when it happens I switch to Opera which seems to run faster.
