Turn javascript off... and kiss adsense earnings goodbye too.
Javascript is getting some bad press of late, time to write an "if javascript turned off do such and such" script so your site doesn't lose ad revenue. I'm already seeing near 10% of my traffic having javascript off this month, according to analytics, but I don't know how much of that 10% is bots etc. 10% is already a lot.

ahem...it's JavaScript, not Java. They are two very different things that unfortunately have similar names.

"...vulnerability in Firefox to force end users to install malware ... The Windows executable was created on Sunday..."
Looks like its only Javascript on FF on Windows?

The catch 22 is NoScript is one of the few ways to stay protected on the web.

Agreed r4bet, chances are China is behind this. Hilarious in a sickening way.

I think FF has issued a patch... there was something that came through early morning/last night, but dang it I was tired and not paying attention when I clicked RESTART FIREFOX FOR UPDATES... Will go take a look, but if anyone has that info, please post... The Mozilla guys seem to take these exploit things very seriously.

They did fix a critical 0-day exploit in the just released version 3.6.12 - not sure if it is THE 0-day exploit or not, but I think so.
Fixed in Firefox 3.6.12
