Mozilla has pushed out a second release candidate for Firefox 3.6.
The update is said to close a security flaw, of which very little details are available.
Current Firefox 3.6 testers will receive the update automatically, or it can be downloaded from the Firefox Beta website.
Firefox 3.6 final was expected today, but is now expected on January 26th.
Mozilla has pushed out Firefox 3.6 Release Candidate 1 (RC1). This means the browser now contains the final set of changes and new features, and will now only concentrate on bugs that would stop the browser from being released.
Firefox 3.6 RC1 fixes almost 100 bugs since Beta 5, but there are no other new features in this release.
A list of new features in Firefox 3.6 can be found in the release notes, while the release candidate can be downloaded from the Firefox Beta website.
Firefox 3.6 is now just 1-2 weeks away from final release.
Mozilla have pushed out two updates for Firefox 3.5 and Firefox 3.
The updates are merely bug fixes, resolving issues that could crash the browser. A full list of changes can be found in the Firefox 3.5.7 and Firefox 3.0.17 release notes.
The updates will be pushed out to existing Firefox users, or can be downloaded manually from the Firefox website.
And just when we were hoping to see Firefox 3.6 before Christmas, Mozilla has pushed out another beta release for the browser.

Today, Firefox turns 5, exactly 5 years since the release of Firefox 1.0.
Firefox has come a long way in this time, currently at version 3.5, with over 330 million users world wide. Available in over 70 languages, and with over 7,000 add-ons for the browser, Firefox is arguably any users browser of choice.
With Firefox 3.6 on it’s way, the browser still has plenty of life left in it.

Browser market share stats are out for October 2009 thanks to Market Share by Net Applications.
As usual, Internet Explorer was down for the month, dropping from 65.71% to 64.64%, while Opera had a surprise loss, albeit only small, from 2.19% to 2.17%.
Firefox had a small gain, jumping from 23.75% to 24.07%. Safari was also up 4.24% to 4.42%.
Google Chrome share was the biggest winner for October, jumping from 3.17% to 3.58%.
Opera’s drop off is likely from users who were testing Opera 10 and have gone back to their original browser. The jump for Safari suggests strong sales for Apple Mac’s, confirming the bumper year the Cupertino based company has been having.
