From Slashdot
engineer_uhg writes to tell us that Mozilla has just entered into a multi-year agreement with Real Networks to have Firefox distributed with downloads of RealPlayer, Rhapsody, and RealArcade. The Mozilla team cited Real’s estimated 2 million downloads per day as a great tool for distribution. However, many Firefox supporters question the move complaining of questionable practices by Real.

Firefox gets a fresh security update
Mozilla has issued a security update for its Firefox open-source browser, just weeks after it released a large fix to address several browser security flaws.
The Firefox 1.5.0.3 update is designed to address vulnerabilities in versions 1.5 through 1.5.0.2.
Malicious attackers could exploit the flaws to cause a denial-of-service attack, which in turn may allow them to take remote control of a user’s system, according to an alert from security research company Secunia, which rates the flaw as “highly critical.”
I worry this might be the beggening of alot of more bad things to come. Only time will tell i hope I am wrong this has been such a great browser.
