Five of the eight flaws received a "critical" label, meaning that an attacker could exploit them to break into machines running vulnerable versions of the software." }- Brian Krebs (http://blog.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2006/12/new_firefox_version_fixes_8_se.html)

Well, another proof that no browser is safe from zero day bugs and attacks. The only thing you can do is hope your anti-malware tools will be able to protect you. But I never knew until like 2 years ago that using software could be so dangerous, this is really strange stuff when you think about it. :gack:
