Another Firefox 2 update issued

Mozilla has issued an update for Firefox 2, recommending all Firefox 2 users install it immediately to ensure their security.

Firefox 2.0.0.16 contains a number of changes to improve security and stability including command-line URLs launching multiple tabs when Firefox was not actually running.

The company warned that support for Firefox 2 would not be carried through into 2009 and urged surfers to upgrade to its new browser.

"Firefox 2.0.0.x will be maintained with security and stability updates until mid-December, 2008. All users are encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 3," the company said on its blog.
