 Apple released an update to its web browser, making the Safari to version 4.0.4. Safari 4.0.4 addressed a vulnerability that could allow an image file to exploit Macs with older software.
According to Apple, the flaw allowed maliciously crafted images with an embedded color profile to execute arbitrary code, or unexpectedly terminate the application. The issue does not affect Mac OS X 10.6 systems, and was already addressed with Security Update 2009-005 for Mac OS X 10.5.8 systems.

 Five years on this Mozilla Foundation released Firefox 1.0 to public, a major new product since Mozilla Suite (then known as Mozilla Application Suite, now known as SeaMonkey) first released in June 2002. The major difference between Firefox and Mozilla Suite? Firefox is just the web browser, and aimed to be a lightweight and fast browser. Later Mozilla Foundation created a subsidiary Mozilla Corporation, and dropped the officially development of Mozilla Suite (SeaMonkey).
Back then, Netscape (browser) was not dead yet. Netscape 7.2 was the latest Netscape browser, and Netscape Browser Review Program (Netscape 8) surfaced to air a week later.
Back then, SillyDog701 started the hosting of Netscape Browser Archive in July 1999. (It has just be a bit over 10 years.) SillyDog701 Message Centre is shifting its support from Netscape to Firefox.
