Mozilla Firefox browser upgrade taken offline due to vulnerability

The latest version of Mozilla's Firefox browser has been taken offline after a security vulnerability was discovered.


Users who had upgraded to version 16 were advised to downgrade to the previous safe release until Firefox developers released a fix.


The vulnerability allowed "a malicious site to potentially determine which websites users have visited", Mozilla said.


The non-profit company said that only a "limited number of users are affected".
The download had been taken offline within a day of its initial release, the organisation's UK spokesman said.
