Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7 (official) has been released. This is an important security and stability release. It includes a fix for a potential buffer overflow vulnerability when loading a hostname with all soft-hyphens (The IDN bug). A fix to prevent a crash when loading a Proxy Auto-Config (PAC) script that uses an "eval" statement. And a fix to restore
InstallTrigger.getVersion() for Extension authors.
