Firefox 16 pulled just after release to address security vulnerabilities

According to the Mozilla Security Blog, Firefox 16 features a security vulnerability that allows “a malicious site to potentially determine which websites users have visited and have access to the URL or URL parameters.
As a precaution, users can downgrade to version 15.0.1” - Firefox 16 offers several new features, most of which are aimed at developers. One such feature is the Developer Command Line, which provides keyboard control over the Developer Tools. Other features include CSS3 Animations, Image Values, IndexedDB, Transitions, and Transforms.
Firefox 16 for Android was also affected by this vulnerability, but a patched version of the browser is already out.
