"The Mozilla Foundation has noted the release of a security patch for a recently discovered flaw in Firefox, the stand-alone version of the open-source group's namesake browser. Here's a quote:
"While this is a potentially severe security vulnerability, user interaction is required to trigger potential harm. This security update is also another example of the Mozilla Foundation identifying and fixing security vulnerabilities before they are exploited by malicious hackers. This type of security vulnerability is very different from cases where a hacker could take advantage of a vulnerability to obtain valuable information from a user's computer."…Editor's note: It's worth noting that the only user interaction required to trigger potential harm in Windows is booting up."

Update to version 0.10.1 …"
