Firefox 1.5.0.3 is a security fix from mozilla (see
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/releases/1.5.0.3.html)
>From that page you see :-
Firefox 1.5.0.3 is a security update that is part of
our ongoing program to provide a safe Internet
experience for our
customers. We recommend that all users upgrade to this
latest version.
* Security fix for denial of service
vulnerability. (see
http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2006/mfsa2006-30.html)
Release Date: May 2, 2006
Inline with its goals, the Fedora Project does not
provide backports and so they released 1.5.0.3 as a
security update. They did not put a message on
Fedora-announce as they did with 1.5.0.2 in April. But
you can see the announcement at :-

Update Information:
A bug was found in the way Firefox handles
iframe.contentWindow.focus() calls. A malicious web
page could potentially execute arbitrary code as the
user running firefox.
Users of Firefox are advised to update to this
package,
which contains a version of Firefox not vulnerable to
this issue.
