Yay, right. I agree that is difficult to blame it on Firefox. But that
does not mean that there's not a problem. The distribution should take
steps to protects their users. It just happens that the combination of
MIME types, browsers and wine can lead an user to compromise his/her
system. Shouldn't this hole be closed?

Couldn't the ubufox package include some programming that blocks wine
programs from being executed? After all, I don't think it's common for
an user to run windows programs from the web except in the case of
viruses/worms.
