1.0.6 versions follow close on the heels of the 1.0.5 updates, but chances are, if you haven’t experienced any problems yet with 1.0.5, you’re in no rush to upgrade. The sole purpose of these new releases is to
Restore API compatibility for extensions and web applications that did not work in Firefox 1.0.5.
Still, I would suggest getting both Firefox 1.0.6 and Thunderbird 1.0.6, if you use it.
Oh, and if you use the Greasemonkey/Platypus extensions, you might want to be aware of the following huge security hole:
Uninstall Greasemonkey altogether. At this point, I don’t trust having it on my computer at all. I would think that whoever is in charge of addons.mozilla.org should immediately remove the Greasemonkey XPI and post a large warning in its place advising people to uninstall it.
By the way, “Greasemonkey Hacks” is DEAD until we fix this. And I’m posting a big red blinking warning on every page of diveintogreasemonkey.org advising visitors to uninstall it, until all of these security holes are closed. This is why God invented the
<blink>tag.—
Cheers,

An update to the Greasemonkey extension, which excises the insecurities as the expense of gutting the functionality, is available.
Your subtitle moves when I highlight it. It freaks me out.
