Mozilla has nipped a Firefox 16 security scare in the bud with an update that patches a flaw it considered so serious that it briefly pulled the day-old release, warning users to revert to an earlier version. Those who installed the new browser and didn't get -- or heed -- the warning will automatically receive the patch. The browser is once again available for download. The vulnerability could potentially let a malicious site determine which websites users have visited and give it access to more detailed browsing information, Michael Coates, Mozilla's director of security assurance, said.
