Mozilla has distributed a small, but very important upgrade to the Firefox browser. The software is being upgraded to Firefox version 1.5.0.3 to prevent browsers from DOS (denial of service) attacks that could cause the browser to crash (this was not a threat that could comprise a system). Mozilla is recommending that all users upgrade to the new version. The update should happen automatically or can be forced via the Check for Updates option on the Help menu.
