Aktualizace na Firefox 1.5.0.2 není čistě bezpečnostní, jak by se dalo čekat. Update se ale každopádně doporučuje.
Důležité opravy bugů
- 325561 – Partial update fails if search plugin to be patched is missing.
- 307558 – Customized toolbars are reset to default after search plugin update check.
- 306426 – Certain submenus blink (flash, flicker) rapidly and do not expand when highlighted (hovered over).
- 303713 – textbox.dispatchEvent(keyEvent) no longer adds character to textbox in Firefox 1.0.6.
- 318419 – window.setTimeout() goes crazy periodically – functions are immediately called repeatedly.
- 319463 – display:none iframe pointing to a xul document stops main document from finishing to load.
- 137155 – POST request sent as two small packets (IIS 5 sometimes chokes).
- Security
- Several security holes, the most serious of which could lead to remote code execution. (Information about most of the security holes was announced within hours of the release, but information about several is being held until the Thunderbird 1.5.0.2 release next week.)
- Crashes
- 317865 (topcrash #2?) – Stop doing last-ditch garbage collection due to there being 4MB on the JS heap. (“Last-ditch garbage collection” is garbage collection called by the JS allocator. Bugs tickled by LDGCs are believed to be responsible for several topcrashes; this patch will make those crashes much less frequent. This patch should also make life less painful when you have a lot of JavaScript objects allocated. LDGCs are still possible in cases of malloc failure, or if the JS engine allocates 4MB without doing a GC, but those situations are less common.)
- 315286 (topcrash #36) – Crash [ @ nsGlobalWindow::RunTimeout ].
- 265740 (topcrash #48) – Browser crashes sometimes when loading Gmail and loading another tab.
- 322683 – Yahoo Mail Beta related crash.
- Memory leaks
- Windows-specific bugs
- 317420 – [Windows] Crash when trying to print certain pages with absolutely positioned images.
- Mac-specific bugs
