A new update was released from the Mozilla labs to fix a Firefox password saving flaw.
The Firefox version 3.0.3 was released on September 26 and is aimed at a glitch found in the Password Manager feature. The bug in question made it impossible for users to retrieve saved passwords or register new passwords.
According to Mozilla, the problem stemmed from the fact that the Password Manager has issues with the login records featuring international characters. To be more precise, the browser was able to save correctly non-ASCII data only in UTF-8.
The release is rather odd for Firefox fans, seeing that Mozilla updates usually come in both Firefox 2 and Firefox 3 flavor. However, this time the bug seems only to affect the latest version of the browser.
The Firefox 3.0.3 update can be downloaded from here.
