Firefox Alert

It's amazing how the more people use a product the more vulnerabilities are discovered. <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/" target="_new">Firefox</a>, one of my browswers, has a new <a href="http://secunia.com/advisories/15292/" target="_new">security alert</a> that is rated extremely critical. The site recommends turning off javascript which can be done in the preferences. On the <a href="http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=262461&sid=9bb5062c8f9763a7db9bf05fdaab54d9" target="_new">firefox forums</a> they say to disable the "Allow web sites to install software" option. I am doing both until the problem is fixed.<br />n<br />n<b>The problems of this world are only truly solved in two ways: by extinction or duplication. Susan Sontag</b>
