Changes in This Release

Release 1.7.13a of the Mozilla browser resolves a problem with the representation of folders (containers) in both the Browser History pane and the Bookmark Manager window.

The Mozilla 1.7.13 browser contains fixes for several security issues resolved by Mozilla.org developers since the release of Mozilla 1.7.12. Check Mozilla.org's Known Vulnerabilities in Mozilla page for details.

The Mozilla 1.7.12 browser contained fixes for three additional security issues resolved since the release of Mozilla 1.7.11.

Mozilla 1.7.11 was a minor update release that fixes two regressions introduced in Mozilla 1.7.10.

Mozilla 1.7.11 and later versions are now supported and may be installed on Unixware 7.1.3 releases. Please take note of and follow the system requirements specified above.

Packaged with the Mozilla browser is the MozPlugger, version 1.7.1, which provides a generic Mozilla plugin that will automatically use available external programs to display additionl mime types. As an example, if xpdf exists in $PATH, Mozilla will display Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files.

The Mozilla 1.7.10 browser, released earlier for UnixWare 7.1.4, contained fixes for nine additional security issues resolved by Mozilla.org developers since the release of Mozilla 1.7.8. Check Mozilla.org's Known Vulnerabilities in Mozilla page for details.

The Mozilla 1.7.8a browser, the previous release, contained a fix for Secunia Advisory SA15601 - Mozilla / Mozilla Firefox Frame Injection Vulnerability , published June 6, 2005 (CVE reference: CAN-2004-0718).

The Mozilla 1.7.8 browser, released earlier, represents a significant advancement in features and fixes over the Mozilla 1.2.1 released with UnixWare 7.1.4. It also contains fixes for ten security issues resolved since the 1.7.6 release. Some of the new feature include:

• tabbed browsing (no longer opening 1 page at a time)
• popup blocker
• image manager
• junk mail controls
• calendar

For a detailed list and explanation of features, check out Mozilla.org's Mozilla Suite web-page.

For a complete listing of the security issues fixed since Mozilla 1.2.1 see Mozilla.org's Known Vulnerabilities in Mozilla page.
