Firefox 6.0.2 is now officially available for download. This release has been removed trust exceptions for certificates issued by Staat der Nederlanden (see more details in "What's new in Firefox 6.0.2" section), and fixed for stability issue with gov.uk websites

Overview
Firefox is a fast, full-featured Web browser. Firefox includes pop-up blocking, tab-browsing, integrated Google search, simplified privacy controls, a streamlined browser window that shows you more of the page than any other browser and a number of additional features that work with you to help you get the most out of your time online.

The major new feature in Firefox 6.0 is the "Permissions Manager", access it by typing about:permissions into the Address bar. This allows you to set permissions regarding cookies, passwords, pop-up windows, offline storage and your location for individual websites you’ve previously visited, allowing you to grant more access to trusted sites without having to open yourself up to others in the process.

Firefox 6.0 also support for more HTML5 and CSS3 features, an improved about:memory dialog that allows you to manually rein in Firefox’s ever-increasing memory demands. As with the last two releases, performance is improved while web developers also get to play with a "scratchpad" that allows live testing of Javascript code, accessible from the Developers sub-menu or by hitting Shift + F4.
