Mozilla has updated Firefox, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey, fixing a JavaScript security issue.

According to Mozilla a security problem in the JavaScript engine introduced a stability problem with the applications, where some users experienced crashes during JavaScript garbage collection. The Web browser developer said the fix is being issued to mainly address the stability issues and made a point of saying that there is no evidence that the issue is exploitable.

The issue has been fixed in Firefox 2.0.0.14, Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 and SeaMonkey 1.1.10. The applications are available for download from the developer's Web site.
