I was seriously disappointed with Mozilla on one of these vulnerabilities. It was reported nearly two years ago, and they've taken all that time to fix it. It was serious, allowing JavaScript to be run with Chrome privileges (ability to access and/or modify any directories and files, install things in the browser, etc., among other things) if you used the feed preview feature.<a class="user" href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360529">https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36052 ...</a>I hope I've merely misunderstood the severity of the flaw, but the security advisory listed it as "Critical".
