Firefox security issue

If you use firefox you should go do this: Firefox and Mozilla security issue.

A few days ago a security issue was discovered in firefox. As of now I believe that no one has found a way to make the security issue do anything other than crash the browser if you click on a strange link, but it is possible that someone has figured out how to make it do something nastier so it is worth following the instructions on the page linked to above.

I've heard of the issue a while ago, but I guess I missed the workaround - thanks for the heads up :). Now if they only fix their memory leaks so that Firefox doesn't take up 250 MB after a week of running on my XP box, I'll be all set.
