Critical Security Flaws in Firefox and Safari

You read that right- it's not Internet Explorer (this time). Both Firefox and Safari have released Critical updates that fix a variety of security issues in the two browsers. The Firefox patch addresses nine security flaws in the popular open source browser. According to this Washington Post article, the Safari update addresses "several Safari plug-ins, including "Concierge" bookmarks manager, "PithHelmet" ad-blocking software, and "AcidSearch" search enhancement software" as well as security issues with Safari's new anti-phishing protection.
