Mozilla will release Firefox 2.0.0.20, which will include the omitted patch,
as early as Friday and no later than Monday.
Version 2.0.0.20 was flawed for Windows. Apparently it has been re-issued
with the correction.

SO hmm, yeah, lb was right, it has been released to correct a failure to
include an update in .19... and re-released to include the missing update in
the Windows versions..[hence when I searched it had been pulled/blocked]...

OK. I confirm your original search didn't work when you first posted it,
but it works now & comes up with 3 hits. Very good, then.

Mozilla offered both 2.0.0.19 - 20 automatically when I start Firefox,
20 came quite soon after 19 on my 98SE computer, also on a Mac + Linux
live CD system I use. They are all working well. On the contrary, I
plan to continue using Firefox 2.0.0.20, without reservation, further
security updates are not problematic for me because I use a
combination of Avast, Super AntiSpyware Free, Spyware Blaster, Sygate
Personal Firewall, CCleaner, HiJack This, to successfully protect my
computer. The improvements in Firefox 3 are not enough to make me give
up 2.0.0.20, with which I am very comfortable.
