> Mozilla has acknowledged a security issue in Firefox, which
> potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
> user's system.

> The security issue is caused due to the "-chrome" parameter allowing
> execution of arbitrary Javascript script code in chrome context. This
> can be exploited to execute arbitrary commands on a user's system e.g.
> via applications invoking Firefox with unfiltered command line
> arguments.

> encourages users to upgrade to Firefox 2.
