Beware, that link may give you the en-US locale. This is more appropriate, or better still just use AUS (i.e. Help -> Check for Updates) - it's easier for everyone.

Additionally:

* Adobe Flash Player v9.0.47.0 has been released, which may fix some crashes.
* Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6 Update 2 has been released, which may fix some crashes.

Bugs fixed in 2.0.0.5 - Bugs fixed (so far) for Firefox 2.0.0.5pre: ~99 in total; ~15 crashers, ~10 regressions, ~2 privacy-related bugs and ~12 where no information is available.

How spooky, clicked on this thread, got to the bottom and Firefox told me there'd been an update.

 

[Dappy]

Cheers, downloading now

Cheeers for the heads up, just updated seen as FF never told me about it.

Bloomin' eck. Already?!

It's a fire drill - the 3 security bugs need fixed.

Ah nice to see Mozilla fixing the important bugs then.

Glad I'm on Opera now though.

And it's out:

Bugs fixed (so far) for Firefox 2.0.0.6pre: 5 in total; 1 regression and 3 security-related bugs:

1. #388121 [Core]-More consistent handling of principals for loads across docshell type boundaries. [All]
2. #388583 [Core:XP Toolkit/Widgets: XUL]-Autocomplete dropdown doesn't update when scrolling with scrollbar [Mac]
3. #389106 [Core]-Escape quotes and escape spaces even for the OnlyNonASCII flag[All]
4. #389287 [Firefox:Installer]-Remove protocol handler registry keys added by the MS shim [All]
5. #389580 [Core:File Handling]-some schemes with %00 launch unexpected handlers on windows [Win]

A quick turn-around to fix a mac regression and to close another security hole.

As ever, Help -> Check for Updates is the better way of getting it.

Same

 

[Jimmy1983]

keep getting this error message

 

[tolien]

Close Fx, and use Task Manager to make sure there are no other Fx processes (close them/use end process), then start Fx again. You should get 2 UAC prompts as well (that should be reduced to 1 sometime - it already is in the trunk).
The install should work then.
