This update fixes <em>"critical flaws in the Gecko rendering engines, the HTML parsers and their implementations of Web Worker." </em>Basically it allowed hackers to inject their own malware onto the machines. This update also covered a couple more moderate vulnerabilities and also extended the support for this version of Firefox until August of 2010.Â*You can download <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html" target="_blank">version 3.5x here</a>, or go ahead and <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/firefox.html" target="_blank">get 3.6 here</a>.Â*</p>
