For any of you who still use Windows, or are in a position to help
someone who does, this will be of interest. The .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
update quietly installs a serious vulnerability in Firefox by way of
adding an extension. This gives Firefox the same "feature" as Internet
Explorer, i.e., the ability for websites to easily and quietly install
software on your PC. See the following link.
