One one of my laptop computers the version of Firefox is shown as 8.0 and it says it is up to date. On another laptop it is shown as 8.0.1 and also says it's up to date. However, on 8.0.1 Personas have stopped working as have the English dictionary add-on.

I read in the latest issue of Computer Active magazine that there is a new version of Firefox that is a scam. I have not clicked on any e-mail links, etc, so I would be glad to have your assurance that 8.0.1 is genuine.

Only the Mac users will get the idle/manual update from 8.0 to 8.0.1 patch. For Mac users it is to fix a crash issue due to Java Java SE 6 version 1.6.0_29.

Windows users do not benefit from having 8.0.1 unless they use a older version of Roboform and cannot or will not update Roboform to version 7.62 or newer. However if Windows users are getting Firefox crashes upon startup then it may be worthwhile to download Firefox 8.0.1 and install it.

The 8.0.1 is pretty much the 8.0 release for Linux users however if they are using 4.0 to 7.0.1 release and check for updates now then the 8.0.1 will be served (same with Windows and Mac users using older).

It is much easier to just serve 8.0.1 at mozilla.com for all users much like they did with 5.0.1 even though was meant for Mac 10.5 and 10.7 users in mind and pretty much was the 5.0 release for Windows and Linux users then.

Thank you for your explanation. However I did get an automatic idle update to Firefox version 8.0.1 on my Windows XP computer.
