Firefox 3.0.2 was released today. The release notes are available here.

It addresses 5 security vulnerabilities:

• MFSA-2008-40 - forced mouse drag
• MFSA-2008-41 - Privilege escalation via XPCnativeWrapper pollution
• MFSA-2008-42 - Crashes with evidence of memory corruption (rv:1.9.0.2/1.8.1.17)
• MFSA-2008-43 - BOM characters stripped from JavaScript before execution
• MFSA-2008-44 - resource: traversal vulnerabilities

Mozilla considers the impact of the -41 and -42 issues to be critical, the -43 and -44 issues to be moderate and the -40 issue to be low.
