Firefox Memory Corruption Vulnerability Firefox Memory Corruption Vulnerability Go here for more details. Mozilla will be making a patch for this, so keep an eye on the updates.
Workaround for the Firefox 3.5 memory vulnerability... From: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-10287172-83.html?tag=contentMain;contentBody I always run NoScript, & have been monitoring it very closely in light of this warning, & have restricted it even more than I normally do. Good luck.
I'm running Mozilla FF 3.0, is this part of the warning? How do I go about removing the unwanted registry entries and software? Or should I just wait for the "fix" to come out? I know those come fairly fast once the problem is identified. Friggin windows
Sorry, I should have highlighted it. Thanks, Ivana. Sorry if I confused anyone. It's only Firefox 3.5 that's affected, AFIK. The updates are controlled from Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Updates tab. I have them all set to install without bothering me, unless there's a problem. (Some earlier versions of Firefox have them under the Tools menu, I think.) You should run NoScript anyway. It's one of the best security features going. Go to the Mozilla add-ons page, search for NoScript, & download it. (I have reverted to Firefox 3.0. until Mozilla get it sorted)
https://sensorstechforum.com/ https://sensorstechforum.com/firefox-requires-manual-update-scam-message-remove/ A new web page, claiming to be update for the latest version of Mozilla Firefox (57.0) has been reported to harass online users. Once the scam pop-ups in the browser it asks targets to authenticate themselves by typing a username and a password. The scam may obtain the entered login details. Even though, the pop-up provides a CANCEL button, a click on it triggers another notification window that urges users to add suspicious browser add-on to Firefox.
