Martijn Wargers and Nick Mott each described crashes that were discovered to ultimately stem from the same root cause: attempting to use a deleted controller context when designMode was turned on. This generally results in crashing the browser, but in theory references to deleted objects can be abused to run malicious code.

"splices" reported the same crash at the fan site MozillaZine and on Bugtraq, incorrectly describing it as a buffer overflow.

Older clients, including Firefox 1.0.x and the Mozilla Suite 1.7.x, are not affected.

Thanks Schadenfroh,another quicker option is to use "check for updates" in Firefox help menu at top of browser .
 
Thanks. It'll be applied next time I restart firefox (which may be weeks, who knows?). 🙂
