Firefox Update 3.0.3 Fixes Password Manager Bug
As I was launching my Firefox this morning, an update prompt flashed at the lower-right side of my Firefox v3 browser urging me to update to version 3.0.2.

However, since the update previously offerred was v3.0.2, I was prompted again the update to the ”latest and greatest version”, which in this case, is v3.0.3.
