Firefox 2.0.0.7 is out and can be downloaded from various ftp sites. One of those sites is the main Mozilla ftp site so it’s as good as official. The announcement should be added to the Firefox homepage today as well which means that it is a wise move to download it now before the storm breaks loose.
The update checker is not updated as well yet. This version fixes the QuickTime Vulnerability which was discovered earlier on and it is recommended that Firefox gets updated as soon as possible. As usual Firefox has been updated for all supported operating systems and all localized versions are available as of now as well.
The vulnerability is based on QuickTime Media Link files (.qtl), simple XML files that include details about the media file to be played (like an .avi, .mov or .mp3) and other settings. However one of these parameters, qtnext, allows the publisher to specify a URL (web address) to be displayed when the media file ends. The URL could be a JavaScript instruction like those used in thousands of web pages and services currently.

there is a reason why mozilla devels ask you to wait till they officially release. respect that and stop posting such links for god’s sake.
now UK people will download from US and wonder what happened to spelling of colo(u)r … you are also screwing with their load balancing!
show atleast SOME responsibility.
Just FYI, duryodhan, there are en-GB versions available at the same link.
Where is the problem in posting a link to the ftp directly that contains the official release ? Besides that your second statement is simply out of line, get your facts straight before you post such nonsense.
At least use a link that farms the load out to all the mirrors rather than hammering one machine:
http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-2.0.0.7&os=win&lang=en-US
You really think that my article would lead to so many downloads that it would hammer the Mozilla ftp ?
“412 There are too many connected user.”
When I click the link :D
Martin haha, you killed mozzila ftp server :D
Wow :D Awesome :D
BTW: I wonder when spyware and other malware will be specially prepared for FF :]
I am not able to find the link right now, but IIRC some mozilla dev had written a blog post asking / begging people not to prelink to the ftp sites that are already having some version of the new firefox (during 2.0 release I think). He had outlined atleast 10 reasons. I may or may not agree with them or might think them to be stupid, but I have the small decency to realise that it is his software and I should respect his wishes.
Have Link will Download,…
That you mate :-)
