Firefox can outrun the virus at Mach 6 or destroy it by firing rear missiles (but only if you think in Russian). Not one of Clint's better movies.

NoScript for Firefox. Don't leave home without it!

"Extra protection for your Firefox: NoScript allows JavaScript, Java (and other plugins) only for trusted domains of your choice (e.g. your home-banking web site). This whitelist based pre-emptive blocking approach prevents exploitation of security vulnerabilities (known and even unknown!) with no loss of functionality... Experts will agree: Firefox is really safer with NoScript ;-)"

"This issue is triggered by utilizing JavaScript 'OnKeyDown' events to capture and duplicate keystrokes from users,"

What the article doesn't mention is that for Firefox users, disabling Java scripting is as easy as a click of a button.
And I know many FF users who do just that.
