In light of the malware incident and Mr. Rick's advice to update browsers, what version of Firefox are you using?

Any problems with whatever is the newest?
18.0.1


No problems here
NO problems with the latest version, Ver. 18.0.1.
One other thing, be sure to upgrade your Java to Ver. 7u13 which secures the vulnerabilities.
Firefox was blocking ALL Java applets until this latest release because of the security holes in Ver 6 and earlier.

Comodo Ice Dragon is built off the Firefox core but more secure.Before I went tablet over laptop,Ice Dragon was my browser of choice.It was much better than Firefox on my Dell laptop with Vista.

Features
Fast, easy to use and light on PC resources
Scan web-pages for malware right from the browser
Lightning fast page loads with integrated DNS service
Privacy and performance enhancements over Firefox core
Full compatibility with Firefox plug-ins

I have FF 18.01 on a Windows 7 platform and never saw a hitch.
Up to date on XP and windows 8. thanks.

There is for Lenux and I am running it. There is also a Firefox Nightly for those bold enough to use it.

At the top under HELP, About Firefox.
Thanks, Scott. It worked and I am running that latest version also.

Ahhhhh, somehow I just figured the OP was asking about Windows versions, not LINUX since he didn't mention it specifically.

When I posted I did not realize the Windows and Linux had different release numbers. I have Nightly too but do not know if it is available for Windows.

Just took a shower and I think it might have been drier in there than outside.

18.0.2 is out today, updating now.
Posted By: nighthawk Re: Firefox Browser Version? - 02/06/13
I'll probably leave it alone until 19 or 20 comes out, these fast update cycles make me nuts.

Supposed to fix a bug in the Javascript engine that crashed FF on Facebook for some people.
