Avoid unknow links, the usual, the Reg I just noticed has an article on it, seems like at this time and I quote "While the exploit is currently available only to those who pay a hefty licensing fee, wider circulation can't be far behind. This story will be updated as more is learned" tbh I would use another browser till its plugged. here is the Article Steve http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/02/18/firefox_zero_day_report/
