This version includes fixes for seven security vulnerabilities. These issues have been listed here:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html#firefox2.0.0.2

Only one of these has Critical severity level.

It appears that they fixed remarkable old Password Manager issue too, see Not vulnerable section of this advisory:

The Password Manager issue has a related thread in SD701 Forum too.

I used the incremental update. It worked very smoothly. As usual old addons were not compatible, but Mr Tech Local Install fixed everything.
They went through five release candidates, before issuing thing version.

I have reason to believe that at least one of these security holes is being actively exploited by hackers who have broken into ebay. Don't log into ebay before updating. If you do, I suggest changing your password immediately after updating.
