The links given, which as Clint pointed out, don't work. If they did they would point to 3 bugs here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=278629
The basic gist of this is to be sure you know the app you are adding to your browser, if you don't trust it then don't install it.

The Linux bug is quite far fetched but possible, since every Linux user I know doesn't work in root but rather in their user space, I was always taught to work in the user space only as it is the prime security feature of Linux. It doesn't work in Windows environments BTW.

This is difficult to reproduce and may attributable to a poorly coded page form as well.
Larry says that "unlike Microsoft, when Mozilla fixes a bug it doesn't release a patch for users" which is bogus, as there was a patch release late last year as seen here http://www.mozilla.org/security/shell.html
All software has bugs, period. Some get patched, some get regular version updates or service packs. Personally, I'm waiting to see if IE7 continues on with the same bugs that IE6 carried over from IE5 :)
