> Robert Chapin has discovered a vulnerability in Firefox, which can be
> exploited by malicious people to conduct phishing attacks.

> checking the URL before automatically filling in saved user
> credentials into forms. This may be exploited to steal user
> credentials via malicious forms in the same domain.
> 
> The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.0.0. Other versions may
> also be affected.
> 
> SOLUTION:
