Here is an explanation on the exploit dated Dec 8, 2005 (very recent) about this exploit ..
"Unpatched Firefox 1.5 exploit made public" .
The way it affected me is becuase I leave my browser open and when I came back in the morning, it was chucking down 2GB of ram.

from your link:
"Correction: This story incorrectly stated the affiliation of Mike Schroepfer. It also misstated Mozilla's results in verifying the Firefox 1.5 flaw. The problem itself was not a security vulnerability but actually a flaw in the browser, according to Mozilla. In addition, it misstated PacketStorm's assessment of the situation."

What you described, it looks like Firefox has a "memory leak."
