It seems there is only a temporary patch and not a fix yet for this Firefox problem.

Thanks for the warning Spider.
Lets hope all firefox users take note of the update notifier (little red circle with a white arrow in the top right corner of the menu bar) to keep up to date.

Hi capt K
If you have just downloaded then your installation is up-to-date, I've just updated mine and the red circle with the white arrow has disappeared.
Click help/about if you have version 1.0.1 you are OK. That red circle with the white arrow will appear some time in the future, then is the time to check to see if there is a new update. BF

Its going to get interesting to see how popular firefox will become with those who like to look for security problems. I guess it is a price firefox must pay.

Hi capt K
You could visit the bay and drop over to Fraser Island, I believe the fishing is good off this beach.
