This problem is unix only and fixed already in 1.07 which is available right now.

"The flaw can only be exploited on Unix or Linux based environments and can be fixed by upgrading to Firefox 1.0.7."

Timely, with 1.0.7 already released. A little late to the party, no?

And meanwhile, Microsoft still includes ActiveX in IE.

Which was the worst decision: ActiveX, or MS Bob?

I'd have to go with ActiveX. While both Bob and ActiveX were answers to questions no one asked, ActiveX has caused much more harm.

I'm running FireFox and it doesn't seem all that scary to me.

Thanks for the article. Downloaded 1.0.7 and I'm ready to go. Its cool how a firefox update doesn't break other things.

I love seeing a notice for a bug, then finding out it's already been fixed. It's a refreshing change from waiting for months for Microsoft to fix bugs.

The only problem I have with Firefox is that it crashes whenever I have to load a PDF. That's the only time I ever use IE.
