Thanks for the link Nick.  I've been telling everyone for months,
securityfocus told us a few weeks ago and now CERT is telling us - run,
don't walk and download FireFox as quickly as you can click.  Also a few of
the extensions are real productivity improvers, although FireSomething does
steal a few seconds every day ;)
