Firefox 3.5.x was also updated to Firefox 3.5.9 which has also been a security and stability update, likely with many updates that have also been made to Firefox 3.0.19. Bugzilla lists the same amount of bugs that have been fixed. It is here again recommended to update the Firefox browser as soon as possible to improve the browser’s stability and security.
