Firefox has been updated to version 3.6.9. The new version features various security fixes, the most important being the inclusion of support for an anti-clickjacking mechanism. From Mozilla:

Introduced support for the X-FRAME-OPTIONS HTTP response header. Site owners can use this to mitigate clickjacking attacks by ensuring that their content is not embedded into other sites.
Fixed several security issues.

For users still running the 3.5 family of the browser, update 3.5.12 was released, with various security updates but not the X-FRAME-OPTIONS fix.

Your Firefox should detect and download the updated version automatically. Alternatively, grab the latest edition from Softonic here.

Oh, and don’t forget to update Flash player while you’re at it!
