Mozilla has released an update to the Firefox Browser that they have classified as a critical update. The update, Version 10.0.1, fixes a security flaw in version 10.0 as well as a Java freezing problem that was in previous versions of the browser.
New items in the update include
- Most add-ons are now compatible with new versions of Firefox by default

HTML 5 Items Updated

- Full Screen APIs allow you to build a web application that runs full screen
Developer items added

Items fixed in version 10.0.1
- Mac OS X only – after installing the latest Java release from Apple, Firefox may crash when closing a tab with a Java applet installed
- Some users may experience a crash when moving bookmarks
- Silverlight video may not play on some Macintosh hardware
Unresolved issues in this version are:
- Two-digit browser version numbers may cause a small number of website incompatibilities
- If you try to start Firefox using a locked profile, it will crash
- For some users, scrolling in the main GMail window will be slower than usual
- Some synaptic touch pads are unable to vertical scroll

Under certain conditions, scrolling and text input may be jerky
