A critical security flaw in Firefox 3.5 has been fixed.

Dear stanley,
Thank you and that's a relief! 3.5.1 came out quite fast!

Note that anybody that used the workaround against this exploit (disabling JIT) should reverse it once the 3.5.1 upgrade is installed; http://blog.mozilla.com/security/200...in-firefox-35/

Dear TOGG,
I simply typed in the Google search box"install firefox 3.5.1"in the FF and it took me two min. to get the 3.5 to be updated to 3.5.1.To confess, when i started using FF3, i thought "aha, i have come at last to a browser which has taken care of all security" and how wrong i was! Now this is a sight for sore eyes :

I just used the built in 'Check for updates' function under 'Help' in FF and got a 2 or 3MB upgrade to 3.5.1. I hadn't applied the workaround because Firefox isn't my default browser and, as I have NoScript installed, the JIT exploit wouldn't have worked anyway (at least that's how I interpreted the security bulletin)..

Dear TOGG,
I was actually wondering as to why my FF was not automatically updated, because under"options" i have that enabled"! Kindly see this snap :

i had to download & update it myself . i don't know why the auto update didn't work.
