Last week, the Fairer Platform noted the release of Firefox and Thunderbird patches, which came to market with stability and security fixes. Unfortunately, those updates themselves introduced new problems requiring Mozilla issue a new pair patches.

There was Firefox 3.6.14, and Thunderbird 3.1.8, and now we’ve got fresh incremental releases for fresh issues created by those patches. Thereupon, the next time you start Firefox or Thunderbird, you will be asked to update again:

• Firefox 3.6.15 (release notes, download)
— Fixed an issue where some Java applets would fail to load in Firefox 3.6.14

• Thunderbird 3.1.9 (release notes, download)
— Prevents a crash after update, that is affecting some [v3.1.8] users.
