Firefox exploited
Well Firefox is starting to see some exploits. Using the same method as extensions are installed, Infostealer.Snifula installs itself and can then download trojans that will run from startup. This then can capture passwords which the "extention" will send to the attacker waiting for the information.
So far the attack is not very widespread containing itself mostly in Australia.
For the best protection, make sure you download only files you trust and keep up to date on the Firefox patches.
