firefox 3.0.2 security and stability update

Today we shipped the Firefox 3.0.2 update for Firefox users on Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Most of you are uses to these regular security and stability updates but there's an all too often uncelebrated minor update tory that really deserves some attention this time around: localizations.

With today's release, we've now got official releases for Sinhala and Slovene as well as beta releases for Bengali, Galician, Hindi, Icelandic, Kannada, Marathi, Telegu, and Thai available for testing. That's 8 new locales coming online for Firefox 3, bringing the total up to 57!!

Mozilla's amazing localization community pushes really hard to get localizations ready for major releases like Firefox 3, but not all of them make it. Our minor updates are a chance to get some that we couldn't squeeze into the major releases and to introduce new "beta" locale versions.

Seth, and everyone involved, have really taken it up a notch with how much they've accomplished and how much progress we're making to ensure that everyone the world over can use Firefox in their preferred language.
