The Late: SuperMacMod
The Mozilla Foundation releases an important security update for Firefox. All users should upgrade to the latest version of the Firefox Preview Release. A patch is available for current Preview Release users. Current Firefox Preview Release users: when the update icon appears in the upper right corner of your screen, just click on it to install the patch, or click here to install it.
A malicious hacker who could trick a user into saving a file could delete files from a user's download directory. While this is a potentially severe security vulnerability, user interaction is required to trigger potential harm. This security update is also another example of the Mozilla Foundation identifying and fixing security vulnerabilities before they are exploited by malicious hackers. This type of security vulnerability is very different from cases where a hacker could take advantage of a vulnerability to obtain valuable information from a user's computer.
