Firefox Flaw Hoax
It seems last weeks Firefox vulnerability was just a hoax. The speech made at a Toorcon security conference was made as a joke according to one of the speakers.
While this type of joke is the least funny for anyone, it did teach us a lot about Mozilla and security. Mozilla immediately began investigating the 'flaws' when the news was released and is still continuing even after it has been written off as a hoax. Mozilla states that they take security very seriously and their current actions seem to follow that statement.
