So as soon as you connect to a rogue wireless network or a valid wired network that has been hijacked through an ARP spoof, you get owned as soon as you launch Firefox.

I looked into this and i found some info from sites that have subject malware issues (ex malwarecity.com) and the ideea is for my antivirus bitdefender it say's that it doesn t protect the user for sofware vulnerabilities but it keeps you safe by catching the malware file that the firefox server is sending by update . I m safe and i wait for the firefox guy s to resolve the issue . From what i understand the idee is that somebody can send malware files using firefox update server (correct me if i m wrong).
