Test : http://secunia.com/mozilla_products_...exposure_test/


Ran the test again after ccleaner , less mumbo jumbo ! I'm not trying to play chicken little , but I like to know about this shit. When FF has a patch witch ,I'm sure is soon . I like to have an idea what I'm downloading. I'm home alone tonite so I'm bored .

apparently a release candidate of 1.0.3, which fixes the bug, was made available on Saturday, that's two days before Secunia made the report

Firefox 1.0.3 will be released soon

People who otherwise did not know of this vulnerability could analyse the test script and use it to create their own hacking scripts.

It's just downright irresponsible to release a test like that before a fix is available.
