* Solution * - Disable JavaScript, or disable the "Allow web sites to install software" option [Tools - Options - Web Features]. I like Javascript (it's necessary for xltronic and some other sites) so I disabled the install software option. |

yeah thanks for this - however, firefox pops up a box saying "This website is trying to install software, click here for options" when a site does try to do it, so i'm gonna leave my options the way they are... i think (correct me if i'm wrong here) that you'd have to have given the dubious website explicit permission, upon firefox asking, to let it install software. |

Well it's a javascript problem not java. |

i know that! i just wanted to exploit this misdemenour by trying to trick other people into hating java as much as i do by slyly linking my own personal hatred of java with that caused by an input validation error when processing specially crafted JavaScript code in the "src" parameter of an "IFRAME" tag or in the "iconURL" parameter of the "InstallTrigger.install()" function (called when installing a firefox extension add-on or theme file), which may be exploited via a malicious web page or email to bypass the security restrictions and inject arbitrary JavaScript code, which could lead to a system compromise! |

Of course, current firefox users can upgrade through the auto updates feature. If you're not seeing the red arrow icon in the upper right-hand corner of firefox you can force ff to check: Tools > Options > Advanced > Software Updates: Check Now And, for what it's worth, they're working on improving the auto update feature soon. ---------------------- In this light, improving the Software Update System has become a primary objective for Firefox 1.1. ... I have developed some initial UI mocks which you can find on the section, along with some growing but rough design documentation for the client side piece. Darin has figured out how to get binary patching working, and is working on a system for incremental background update download. ---------------------- ... which is really good news imhotep. |
