"Another Critical Firefox Vunerability Emerges"

I am sure that one derives from the fact that unicode is not a fixed-width storage 'feature' -- ASCII is exactly 7-bits long (the 8th bit of a byte is ignored in strict-ascii; ibm extended ascii to fully use the 8 bits for more characters in different languages).
Therefore, an ASCII data processor is coded to always work with 1 byte.
Unicode's size per character is anywhere from 1 to 4 bytes, and which is which is not always easy to figure out.
This vulnerability, while not good, is not entirely unexpected.

I just updated mine.
Just disabled Java. Thanks for the info.
Firefox has been getting worse and worse since version 3.0 was released, in my opinion. It takes 10 seconds to open and often freezes on web pages when loading images. I never though I'd say this, but I might start using Safari.
I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing the freezing.
