Mozilla has released <A HREF="http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,129342-pg,1/article.html">an update to its Firefox browser,</A> fixing a number of security flaws in the product.

The Firefox 2.0.0.2 release includes a fix for a bug disclosed by security researcher Michal Zalewsky last week. That flaw can be exploited by attackers to manipulate cookie information in the Firefox browser, making it probably the most important fix in the update, according to Window Snyder, Mozilla's head of security strategy.
