Quick Fix: Firefox Security Flaw

[joule]

The Mozilla team have released instructions on how to fix a security flaw with the Firefox browser (and all Mozilla products). Basically it involves turning off IDN by going to your About:config, finding the network.enableIDN item and setting it to False.

What's with these firefox haters? I thought we all hated microsoft.
Maybe we hate both and we should come up with a HL2.net internet broswer.
