As far as I know you're safe until you install an extension. Hopefully a
patch for a permanent fix will be out soon!

You can find instructions for a "temporary" fix here:

Thanks Rodney,
Instructions are for XP, but I found the file on my OS X box and edited it. The
exploit no longer works, weee! However, your link also states
UPDATE 2/8/05 8:02 AM PST
In the comments reader lionfire mentions that this fix isn't quite permanent
because compreg.dat gets updated when you install an extension. I have just
confirmed this. I'm looking further into how to make this permanent. Stay tuned!
So as long as I don't install any Firefox extensions, I'm safe? Sorry, I'm a
teacher, not a techie.
