Firefox 3 Beta 2 was released on Tuesday, featuring several new security features.
The new beta software includes improved protection from cross-site JSON data leaks, tighter restrictions on cookies, clearer Web site identification by clicking on the site favicon in the location bar, better malware protection, stricter SSL error pages, anti-virus integration in the download manager, and version checking for insecure plugins.
"If you visit a malicious site using Firefox 3, it will block the site and do it with a user interface that doesn't allow a click-through," said Window Snyder of Mozilla Corporation, whose business card reads "Chief Security Something-or-Other."
