Mozilla is urging users to downgrade from the just released Firefox 16 and has just taken download links offline after discovering a major security flaw that could allow a malicious site to view the entirety of a user’s history.

Mozilla has stressed however that no users had been automatically updated to Firefox 16, so if you’re running the application you should know it – and that there is no actual report of the vulnerability being exploited in the wild… yet.

Firefox 16 users can downgrade to Firefox 15.0.1 using by clicking here and by clicking the “Free download” button.

    Their new release schedule is getting in their way IMO.
