Updating Firefox

Just in case you are wondering like me about the latest update of Mozilla Firefox, which updated from 2.0.0.10 to 2.0.0.11 within a week, I tired looking for the reason and found that the update was due to a bug. When Mozilla released Firefox 2.0.0.10 Monday, it included a bug in its rendering canvas HTML elements. Canvas elements allow for dynamic, scriptable rendering of bitmap images in HTML.

The bug affects a specific use case of the Canvas tag, which is not yet in wide use," said Mike Schroepfer, vice president of engineering at Mozilla. The new version, Firefox 2.0.0.11 is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux for free download. users with Firefox 2.x will receive an automated update notification within 24 to 48 hours. The update can also be applied manually by selecting Check for Updates from the Help menu. It is strongly recommended to check your version of Firefox and if it is not 2.0.0.11, get it updated.

By the way how about the following as a canvas for Firefox. Wish I had the canvas to lay myself on :).
