It seems like only a few days since Firefox was updated to version 2.0.0.5 but the ever busy development team had to release the new version earlier because of a recently discovered bug in the Windows version of Firefox. The new version is already available on the Mozilla homepage and the automatic update routine is also reporting version 2.0.0.6 as the latest version already.

The new version is fixing one critical and one moderate security vulnerability that I listed below for your convenience. Make sure you update to Firefox 2.0.0.6 as soon as possible.

all existing add ons froze
switching back to previous version.
