This is not the first time an update to Firefox has been announced,
prematurely, by those who mistake a/an Alpha/Beta/RC, found in a Mozilla
ftp-site, with the corresponding link not found on a/the Mozilla/Firefox pages.
Does anyone remember when v1.5.0.1 was "released"? It then came to light that
this so-called release was _not_ a "full", but rather a beta, of some sort.
Took MajorGeeks.com (<http://www.majorgeeks.com>) several days to
retract/remove their blurb & link to "1.5.0.1". I hope they do better, this
time.

Don't trust TinyURL links posted into Usenet?
If so, then go to "TinyURL Lookup", @

Web-browsing & Trojans got you down?
Firefox (<http://www.mozilla.com/>), along with
its' JButton v0.1 (<http://tinyurl.com/lw2y4> &
<http://tinyurl.com/nzg6t>) extension, will take
care of switching Javascript & Java in and out,
quite easily.
Another *extremely* good extension for
Firefox, to install is "NoScript"
(<http://tinyurl.com/qhdnd>,
