Firefox 6.0.1

Well, there is an update, but what does it do, other than causing problems, I have been unable to determine what has supposed to have changed. Release notes? What's it?
People who insist in allowing automatic installations have had issues. I tried the incremental update of 1.7 MB, and it failed in two computers, one of which did not even tell me that there was an update.
Only the complete download worked. Just do the update at your own risk.
Now, I will have to go clean up the mess done with Firefox Portable. Got it! They were at the bottom of the page, nicely hidden. And, I got, after several skirmishes, Firefox Portable.

The new version has something to do with the fake security certificates that were used on Google. I have had no problems with the new version, but I do not do updates. I download the new version and install it manually. There is also a new version of Thunderbird. No idea why that one was upgraded.

Thank you for reporting. I just noticed that Laurent's Firefox has just been pushed to 6.0.1.
