Mozilla has released a new version of Firefox web browser. Version 3.0.2 fixes bunch of issues including following five vulnerabilities:

Mozilla released also updated version of SeaMonkey (1.1.12). Part of listed five security issues affects Thunderbird too. 2.0.0.17 version should fix these but it's not yet available for downloading at the moment of writing this.
