I don't believe this statement was on the Mozilla website yesterday.......

Security Advisory (May 8, 2005) The Mozilla Foundation is aware of two potentially critical Firefox security vulnerabilities as reported publicly Saturday, May 7th. There are currently no known active exploits of these vulnerabilities although a "proof of concept" has been reported. Changes to the Mozilla Update web service have been made to mitigate the risk of an exploit. Mozilla is aggressively working to provide a more comprehensive solution to these potential vulnerabilities and will provide that solution in a forthcoming security update. Users can further protect themselves today by temporarily disabling JavaScript.

For more information about the vulnerabilities, see the advisory. Further information including the availability of updates will be posted at www.mozilla.org.

I've found this page from Mozilla that describes Firefox vulnerabilities and how to empty your "whitelist" and disable Javascript until the new fix comes in. HTH

Thanks, Emmo and Termy.  I have updated and it is just about flawless.  I got a Spellbound error but it has either been fixed or believe I know how to fix it.  Thanks for telling about this Chris.
