I do wonder if that (in)famous critical security vulnerability discovered during Firefox 3 launch day is fixed in 3.0.1?

which bug would that be? I heard it’s something to do with Javascript?

I find it a bit annoying that the enrollment is automatic. It wouldn’t be a big deal if you could easily opt out, but to do that you have to completely download Firefox again and reinstall it (a public release version), which is just irritating. Why can’t I change an option in about:config and be done with it?

I noticed that the other day, loligoth. Opera’s always been a proponent of web standards, so it’s nice to see them taking that to a new level by offering to educate as many people as possible about the related benefits.

Thanks for the tip, Exec. Looks like about six critical bugs and one blocker bug were fixed, plus a slew of others.

Opera released a Web Standards Curriculum, what do you think of it?
