   According to the Mozilla website:

   "What's New in Firefox 2.0.0.11

   Release Date:
   November 30, 2007
   Stability Update:
   This release corrects a problem that was found in the previous release, Firefox 2.0.0.10."

   So, it would seem that our new and improved .11 version will now be problem free! :-)
   I use Firefox, and from memory, this is like the second update in about 3 days now...

   It's to fix images and some websites.

   A recent update from Firefox,(v.2.0.0.10) seems to have screwed some sites because of a bug in the Javascript implementation.

   The bug seems to have affected sites that use the Javascript method canvas.drawImage().

   The method is popularly used to represent vector images into HTML using Javascript and hence the extent in which the bug affects websites could be pretty huge. But just to show the speed of bug fixing from the developers, a fixed build is already available at mozilla FTP. You can download the newer build which has the fix from:

   http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2007-11-27-15-mozilla1.8/ (Windows) and

   http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2007-11-27-14-mozilla1.8/ (Linux)

   Firefox seems to auto-update these days and asks the user to restart firefox for installing the update. Hence, I'm expecting quite a few number of users who have got the bug in firefox. Google Maps is one website that seemed to use the method as well, but I guess they have found a nice workaround the bug.

   The bug can be reproduced by going to the site: http://www.foxsaver.com/public/published.

   Until the update I though the PC was acting up! Good of you to post this up Lee. I don't understand why you didn't link the official Mozilla site for dwnlds/updates though; although the current users do get notification to update if they have it turned on in the options.

   I'm a big fan of Mozilla products, so for those new to them I've listed the official links below. Of course check out Lee's link above to MajorGeeks for more than Ff. They have a lot to offer there.

   The official Mozilla links:

   Mozilla Products = Firefox browser and Thunderbird email client. Once there click the "Learn more" link for each respective product page that includes a download link on it.

   Are you sure? The official Portable Firefox Site http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable is still only 2.0.0.10.

   Where did you see 2.0.0.11 ?
   It's always nice manners to share your links with your friends ;)
