    Just a heads up to make sure your Firefox is updated to current version, while this is not going to still help you as Mozilla have not issued a patch for this exploit as yet, its always best to be fully upto date, with Windows and Security apps.

    But like all exploits that come to light its not always that they hit the wild massively, but its only time now as Fx now has a larger market share that the exploits will come thick and fast as it has done done for years with IE.

    18 bazillion people on forums that only reply "use Firefox, it's safer" just became superfluous. :-D

    When in Russia, then anything goes.

    Wouldnt think that the application is illegal, more immoral.

    I think it is safe to say AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!:-D

    Interent security is down to the user, not the browser. Always has been, always will be.

    I don't recall Secunia ever issuing alerts for ignorance. ;)

    No point. If they did then the whole site would be on red alert constantly.
