Mozilla Firefox 19.0 Released with Built-in PDF Viewer
Firefox 19.0.0 was sent to the release channel today by Mozilla. Although the release includes the usual long list of bug fixes, the release does not include security updates. Firefox 19 does include a new addition, a built-in PDF viewer.
Using Firefox PDF Viewer
It is important to note that the addition is just that, a viewer. It is not possible, for example, to use it for completing fill-in forms. However, when using the viewer, the option is available in the right-hand corner of the viewed file to "Open with a Different Viewer".As illustrated below, the built-in .PDF reader can be enabled or disabled via the Tools > Options > Applications tab.
With a default PDF program set on the computer, the first option is presented when clicking a PDF file:
To select Firefox for viewing the file, navigate to where you have Firefox installed on your computer; i.e., C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe and select it. The PDF will then be viewable in Firefox.
When the PDF is opened in the built-in PDF viewer there may be a warning in the message bar reading, "This PDF document might not be displaying properly". It is at this point where you can elect to openthe file with a different viewer.
The Release Notes include additional changes and fixed features in version 19.0. For a complete note of all fixes, see the Bug Fixes in the link below in References.
Update
To get the update now, select "Help" from the Firefox menu at the upper left of the browser window, then pick "About Firefox." Mac users need to select "About Firefox" from the Firefox menu.If you do not use the English language version, Fully Localized Versions are available for download.

Critical Oracle Java Security Update
When Oracle released an out-of-band security update for Java SE, additional updates that had been planned were not included. As a result, this critical security update was released to add the additional five fixes omitted earlier this month.
In an surprising move, Oracle has added two additional dates to the update schedule in order to further accelerate Java security fixes.
If Java is still installed on your computer, it is recommended that this update be applied as soon as possible due to the threat posed by a successful attack.
Java Security Recommendations
1) In the Java Control Panel, set the security to high.2) Keep Java disabled until needed. Uncheck the box "Enable Java content in the browser" in the Java Control Panel.

3) If you use Firefox, install NoScript and only allow Java on those sites where it is required.
Instructions on removing older (and less secure) versions of Java can be found at http://java.com/en/download/faq/remove_olderversions.xml
Download Information
Download link: Java Version 7 Update 15Verify your version: http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp
Note: UNcheck any pre-checked toolbar and/or software options presented with the update. They are not part of the software update and are completely optional.
Critical Patch Updates
For Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Updates, the next scheduled dates are as follows:- 16 April 2013
- 18 June 2013
- 15 October 2013
- 14 January 2014
