Mozilla released an update Thursday that corrects several vulnerabilities in the Firefox Web browser. Firefox 2.0.0.12 patches critical flaws that could result in Web browsing history and forward navigation stealing; privilege escalation that could allow cross-site scripting exploits; and crashes with evidence of memory corruption. The Firefox updates round out a busy week of critical patches -- Adobe Reader, QuickTime and Skype also reported bugs, said Mike Haro, a senior security analyst at Sophos.
