NRT-0246 Firefox Browser Update:

With the release of Firefox 2.0.0.5, Mozilla moved to patch nine individual flaws resident in previous iterations of the program. Patches built into 2.0.0.5 included those meant to address multiple memory corruption bugs, a cross-site scripting vulnerability, and a flaw that could give attackers access to the browser's cache. Among the other problems the company addressed in the update was even an unusual vulnerability that could cause malicious code to run on a PC if the browser is launched using Microsoft's Internet Explorer software, a flaw that Mozilla could have easily pinned on Microsoft.
