Firefox blighted by unpatched bug | The Register

Firefox blighted by unpatched bug | The Register: "Security researchers have discovered an unpatched vulnerability in Firefox that might be used to crash vulnarable systems. Hackers might also use the security bug to trick surfers into running malicious code by simply fooling them into visiting a maliciously constructed website.
This is a class of problem well known to IE users but it will come as a nasty shock to users of the alternative browser, which has been seen as something of a safe haven from hacker attack even though this assumption has come under question over recent months. "
