** MOZILLA FIREFOX 3.5 FLAW **


Mozilla is warning users of a critical Javascript flaw in its Firefox 3.5 web browser. The company said that the problem exists in the browser's Javascript system within a component called
just in time (JIT).

If exploited, the vulnerability could allow an attacker to run malicious code on a targeted computer. Mozilla further warned that a working exploit has been publicly released, increasing the risk of attacks in the wild.

A Firefox security alert offers instructions on how to temporarily disable the JIT component until the problem is fixed. However, doing so will slow Javascript performance.

I just downloaded 3.5.1 they fixed that problem and you no longer need the workaround.
