"Mozilla has withdrawn the latest version of its Firefox internet browser due to security concerns. Users who upgraded to version 16 of the web software are advised to use the previous version after a security vulnerability was uncovered post release. The flaw enables a &amp;quot;malicious&amp;quot; website to track users&amp;#039; online activity, but Mozilla insists that only a small number of computers have been affected. &amp;quot;At this time we have no indication that this vulnerability is currently being exploited in the wild,&amp;quot; said Mozilla security director Michael Coates in a blog post. &amp;quot;Firefox 16 has been temporarily removed from the current installer page and users will automatically be upgraded to the new version as soon as it becomes available. &amp;quot;As a precaution, users can downgrade to version 15.0.1 by following these instructions. Alternatively, users can wait until our patches are issued and automatically applied to address the vulnerability.&amp;quot; Mozilla claims that users were not prompted to install the update automatically, and pledged to deliver a fix at some point today (October 11).
