Some of the major bugs update are
# If you have the “reading pane” option set in Hotmail, the scroll arrows will not work properly
# If FIPS mode is enabled and certain files have been removed from the system, the browser may crash on startup
Critical Security Issue:

Security researcher Evgeny Legerov of Intevydis reported that the WOFF decoder contains an integer overflow in a font decompression routine. This flaw could result in too small a memory buffer being allocated to store a downloadable font. An attacker could use this vulnerability to crash a victim’s browser and execute arbitrary code on his/her system.
