The Mozilla Firefox 3.5.5 release fixes some instability issues caused by the 3.5.4 security upgrade.
One crash was assigned a CVE number: CVE-2009-3978: The nsGIFDecoder2::GifWrite function in decoders/gif/nsGIFDecoder2.cpp in libpr0n in Mozilla Firefox before 3.5.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via an animated GIF file with a large image size.
Also some KDE4 integration bugs were fixed :
use mimetype for opening url if known (bnc#556156)
fix file dialog resetting icon size (bnc#546490) and file dialog for multiple files not working (bnc#548267)
fix KDE filepicker (bnc#548267,bnc#555438)
avoid possible deadlock with KDE integration (bnc#555202)
