Because Firefox has no auto-update function, there are lots of people still using older versions. This security problem will be real if the Microsoft hating virus writers divert their hate for a few seconds.

Of course, that will not happen.

FireFox DOES auto-update ... if/when a little red circle with an up-arrow appears on the right-hand end the menu bar, just give it a single click. Couldn't be easier ...
