Firefox Releases Update
Firefos 1.5.0.3 has been released. Mozilla recomends that all users install this security upgrade.
Described as a “Security fix for denial of service vulnerability” this fix repairs a flaw that can lead to the browser crashing.
The cause of the crashes is described as “attempting to use a deleted controller context when designMode was turned on. This generally results in crashing the browser, but in theory references to deleted objects can be abused to run malicious code.”
If you are unable to upgrade at this time, the workaround is to “Temporarily disable JavaScript until you can upgrade to a fixed version.”
