Flock’s execs announced yesterday that a new version of Flock browser had been released. The new version is 1.2.2 and its purpose is to crush a bug in Apple Mac OS 10.5.3 that can cause Mozilla based browsers such as Flock and Firefox to experience unkillable hangs after installing Mac OS 10.5.3.

Flock Development Team pulled this security and stability patch forward from Mozilla’s Firefox 2.0.0.15 patch and released a 1.2.2 to their website. They promised to update the localized builds on Monday. Also, since this bug only manifests itself on initial install of the browser, Flock will not release an Automatic Update for this version.

Firefox 3.next is the tentative name for the next relatively minor update to the Firefox 3 branch, which is most likely to become Firefox 3.1.

A very early draft of planned features reveals that as expected, this release will be mainly about attributes that didn’t make it on time for the Firefox 3 launch, along with the usual performance, stability and security bug fixes.
