Title: Browser updates
Post by: Bandit127 on 17 December 2008, 17:44:10

There's a raft of them today....

IE will get an out of band update released at 1:00pm EST (10:pm GMT). This will be rolled out for all except IE8 Beta 2 users via Windows update.

Firfox has an update to 3.0.5. Go Help, Check for updates from within FF to get it.

Opera also has a bunch of fixes - more details here:

PST.  Pacific Standard Time, meaning that it is with daylight savings (like BST vs GMT).  PST is 3hrs behind EST, 8hrs behind BST, except for a few weeks a year when daylight savings is out of sync US-UK.
