Firefox flaw considered more serious

Mozilla has reclassified a bug in Firefox to 'High Severity'.

According to the Mozilla Security Chief, Window Snyder, the flaw could allow an attacker to collect cookies and session history from computers. It only affects Firefox if 'flat' packed add-ons have been installed. A partial list is available, for checking if you are affected. It may be partial but it is quite long.
