    If you'd bothered to report this to mozilla.org, via bugzilla, rather 
    than just going straight to bugtraq[*], you would probably have found 
    bug 83038, which was fixed for mozilla 0.9.2.  (0.9.2 froze tonight for 
    final QA before release.)
    
    People using Mozilla < 1.0 should probably be aware that there are bugs 
    remaining, and some of those bugs may affect the security of the 
    application.  I don't think there are any serious ones left outstanding, 
    but I may not just "serious" like you do, and there may yet be some 
    undiscovered/unreported.
    
    [*] Not that I have a problem with people mailing bugtraq to let people 
    know what they should watch for, but if someone else _hadn't_ reported 
    this to bugzilla, we might not have fixed it in time for 0.9.2.  I 
    assume that's what you want, and that you weren't just posting to be 
    clever at our expense.
