There was a reference in the article (linked in OP) to a known exploit 
in IE, FF, and Opera.  While MS has needed a smack on the head for its 
ongoing love affair with unsafe features, the people who make FF and 
Opera need a double-smack.  Their alleged superior security is a large 
part of the reason that people use them.
