Firefox 3.0.2: The Wmode Fix
Firefox 3.0.2 is now out. Lots of security fixes. But for Linux users, the most interesting item that slipped through is "the wmode fix"-- Firefox 3.0.2 fixes the problem of instant, repeatable crashes on a number of windowless-enabled websites. Upgrade quickly, at least for that reason. It's probably most readily available through your package manager.
Also, I neglected to mention that a new Flash Player release candidate (designated 10.0.12.10) is available for download. You shouldn't notice much difference with this RC vs. the previous RC. Of course, I expect there will be users for whom this RC changes everything, whether for better or worse. That's just how it is in this Linux game.
