After several delays, Mozilla was finally able to roll out Firefox 2.0.0.2 and 1.5.0.10 today.

The release of Firefox 2.0.0.2 is a pretty big one with 158 bugs being squashed: 21 fixed crashing issues, 4 fixed privacy bugs, and 2 fixed memory leaks. Not only that but Vista users will recognize a huge difference in the way that Firefox handles itself.

Vista-related bugs that were fixed:

    * Automatic Updates now works with users who have limited account privilege and User Account Control (UAC) enabled.
    * Uses the Vista Default Application API which means Firefox should now be able to set itself as the default browser without having to be run as an administrator.
    * Before Firefox would remain elevated (a.k.a. running as an administrator) after an update was performed, but that has been fixed.

So get the latest versions right now.
