Bug trackers have had a couple false starts with the release of Firefox 2.0, a top Mozilla engineer said today.


Of the two vulnerabilities reported since the browser's release on Tuesday, the first was patched in a previous version and the second alleged problem couldn't be replicated during testing, said Mike Schroepfer, vice president of engineering.


The first problem caused the browser to crash in some cases when text was displayed. The second problem was described as a cross-scripting attack, and sample attack code was posted on the Internet, Schroepfer said.


"The snippet didn't actually do what was claimed," he said. "We don't have enough information to understand if there is an issue or not."

versions.
