Firefox 3.6.9

by Adam C. Engst

Mozilla has released Firefox 3.6.9 [1], updating the popular Web browser with support for the X-FRAME-OPTIONS [2] HTTP response header that enables Web site owners to prevent their content from being embedded in other sites, which can lead to clickjacking [3] attacks. The update also addresses a number of security vulnerabilities and bugs, some of which could result in crashes. (Free, 19 MB)
