파이어폭스가 2.0.0.2 버전으로 릴리즈되었습니다. 이번 패치에서는 몇가지 보안 업데이트와 비스타에 대한 본격적인 지원이 시작되었습니다. 먼저 아래는 보안관련 패치 소식입니다.
MFSA 2007-07 Embedded nulls in location.hostname confuse same-domain checks
MFSA 2007-06 Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) SSLv2 buffer overflow
MFSA 2007-05 XSS and local file access by opening blocked popups
MFSA 2007-04 Spoofing using custom cursor and CSS3 hotspot
MFSA 2007-03 Information disclosure through cache collisions
MFSA 2007-02 Improvements to help protect against Cross-Site Scripting attacks
MFSA 2007-01 Crashes with evidence of memory corruption (rv:1.8.0.10/1.8.1.2)
충돌로 인한 메모리 손상 문제나 몇몇 부분에 있어서의 버퍼 오버플로우 문제가 해결되었습니다. 그다지 특별한 부분은 없는 것같군요. 반면 비스타의 경우는 이제 본격적으로 지원이 이루어지기 시작하는 듯합니다. 치명적인 오류들이 잡히기 시작하였고, 윈도우미디어 플레이어를 통한 영상 서비스도 파이어폭스에서 볼 수 있도록 기능이 추가되었습니다.
Windows & Windows Vista
* Clicking links in some applications (e.g. some instant messaging programs) might not open them in Firefox, even if you have set it as your default browser. To workaround this problem, go to Start -> Default Programs -> Set default programs for this computer, expand custom, select the radio button next to the app you want to set as the system wide default app (e.g. Firefox, etc.), and apply.
* Using the context menu (right-clicking on the Firefox icon) to start in Safe Mode, doesn't work. As a workaround, use the "Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode)" menu item that appears in the Start Menu instead.
* A Windows Media Player (WMP) plugin is not provided with Windows Vista. As a workaround, in order to view Windows Media content, you can follow these instructions. Note that after installing you may have to get a security update and apply it before you can see the content in the browser.
* Vista Parental Controls are not completely honored. In particular, file downloads do not honor Vista's parental control settings. This will be addressed in an upcoming Firefox release.
* When migrating from Internet Explorer 7 to Firefox, cookies and saved form history are not imported.

얼마전 뉴스를 보니까 비스타를 원활하게 돌리기위해선 최소 4기가의 메모리가 필요하다던데, 메모리 부족에 시달리시는 분은 IE7대신 파이어폭스가 좋은 대안이 될 듯합니다. 저야 아직 관망중이지만요 ^^
