*******************UPDATE*******************

Mozilla has released Firefox 3.5.1. Go to www.getfirefox.com or update your current version

********************************************

Mozilla confirmed a critical security vulnerability that could lead to remote code execution. This vulnerability was found by MilwOrm. According to Mozilla a security patch will be released soon. The exploit is related to Firefox TraceMonkey JavaScript optimizer. Until there is an update for Firefox this issue can be fixed by disabling the optimizer.

To do this type in about:config in the locationbar and type in

javascript.options.jit.content and set its property to false. (you can do this by double clicking it)

Note: The above setting disables the TraceMonkey JavaScript engine and will reduce performance of Firefox 3.5
