The Mozilla Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving choice and promoting innovation on the Internet, yesterday announced that it has released an update to its Firefox 1.0 browser.

The security update for Firefox includes several fixes to guard against spoofing and arbitrary code execution. More information is available in the release notes.

"Regular security updates are essential for maintaining a safe browsing experience for our users," said Chris Hofmann, director of engineering for the Mozilla Foundation. "The Mozilla Foundation has developed a community of users and developers who continuously provide feedback on Mozilla software, and as a result of that constant vigilance, we are able to provide quick and effective responses to security vulnerabilities."
