Security hole found in Mozilla browser

What's amazing about this is that there's already a patch available - and it's installed as an extension! I find it funny that the same exploit is possible in IE, as well, and apparently hasn't been properly patched, even though Microsoft has known about it for some time. It'd be very tough to actually exploit this, though, in any browser.

A security flaw could theoretically allow attackers to crash computers or launch unauthorized programs.
