Firefox vulnerability

[nick]

To Firefox users: critical flaws were found in the Firefox browser (http://informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?ar ticleID=163100338), which may be exploited by an attacker to take control of your PC (http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1009_22-5700204.html). Until a patch is ready, you should disable Javascript, and disallow sites to install software.

Do the following:

1. Click "Tools" on the menu and under that, "Options...".
2. Then click on "Web Features" (which looks like a globe).
3. And then *uncheck* "Allow sites to install software" and "Enable Javascript".
4. Wait for an update.
