The latest update to Firefox pushed out to users last night via automatic update addresses 69 bugs and enhancements, according to Mozilla. Some of the changes were trivial, such as fixing the Russian translation of the Window menu (bug 467158), but 26 bugs were marked as “critical” or higher.

Six potential security vulnerabilities were patched including one marked as “critical”: MFSA 2009-01, which manifested as 12 different bug reports. Security researchers Jesse Ruderman, Georgi Guninski, Martijn Wargers, and Gary Kwong were credited with identifying and reporting the problem.
