Mozilla Firefox 1.07 released

From the FF site:

Firefox 1.0.7 has been released. This release contains a number of security fixes over top of 1.0.6. It does not contain any new features; new features will be available when 1.5 in released. All users of Firefox 1.0.x are strongly advised to upgrade. Users of Firefox 1.5 beta should not upgrade to this release.

Firefox's update mechanism should inform you in the coming week of updates found. If it does not or if you are impatient, you can download 1.0.7 from the Firefox site.

While most upgrades will go flawlessly, it may be a good idea to back up your profile (your profile contains your settings, bookmarks, extensions, etc.) before updating.

Users of Norton Internet Security (NIS) may not be able to connect to websites following the upgrade. This is a bug in NIS. Read this thread: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=259337 for easy instructions to fix this problem.

Liam, I don't remember if Ffox should be add/removed first before installing, or if it should be installed over. What is your take on this?

I think it should be upgraded, and as mentioned above if you want to save your Profile just incase an error occurs, then do so. (Tools|Options| Advanced|Software Update|Check Now)

Thanks Liam,
I just installed 1.07 (over 1.06) with no problems, and my profile is intact
