Mozilla released a security update to all versions of Firefox 10 on February 16, 2012. The Firefox 10.0.2 security release addresses a bug in the lipng reference library which could cause an integer overflow or truncation. This in turn could be exploited and could result in execution of arbitrary code on a victim’s system when viewing a specially crafted PNG image in an affected browser. More info here. Users can update via Help > About Firefox or manually update and install from getfirefox.com

I will be having more information about these builds tomorrow and some other…

Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release) sometimes called Firefox for Enterprise Users is about to become a reality. Firefox ESR was originally purposed to address challenges that Firefox Enterprise users were having with keeping up with the Rapid Release Process implemented back in Mid 2011.
