Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser.
For details on the security issues addressed in this update, please visit the referenced security advisories.
This erratum upgrades Firefox from version 3.0.19 to version 3.6.4, and as such, contains multiple bug fixes and numerous enhancements. Space precludes documenting these changes in this advisory. For details concerning these changes, refer to the Firefox Release Notes links in the References section of this erratum.
Important: Firefox 3.6.4 is not completely backwards-compatible with all Mozilla Add-ons and Firefox plug-ins that worked with Firefox 3.0.19.

Add-ons and plug-ins may have to be manually updated.
All Firefox users should upgrade to this updated package, which contains Firefox version 3.6.4. After installing the update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
