Mozilla has been busy in Patch-land (you know, the place right next to Never-Never land?), and Firefox 3 is nearly one step closer to complete.

Today Mozilla has released updates to both its Firefox and Camino web browser. Firefox 2.0.0.12 stomps out a reported 11 bugs, including one that posed a safety measure threat to users who had installed any of the add-ons for the open-source browser. Camino 1.5.5 includes an update of the Gecko rendering engine and improves blocking of Flash animations and ad-blocking, among other fixes.

The updates can be

downloaded from the browser’s respective websites or from the browser’s built-in updaters.

These new updates come along with news of the Firefox Beta 3 release date, which is pegged as February 11, next Monday. It has plus been decided that a Beta 4 will be released later that month (tentatively scheduled for February 26) due to Mozilla’s desire to clean up the Windows, Linux and Mac OSX themes and overall visual look.
