DESCRIPTION:
Jesse Ruderman has reported a security issue in Mozilla and Mozilla
Firefox, allowing malicious websites to trick users into accepting
security dialog boxes.

The problem is that it may be possible to trick users into typing or
clicking on a XPInstall / Security dialog box, using various
interactive events, without the user noticing the dialog box.

Successful exploitation may allow a malicious website to perform
tasks that require user interaction.

SOLUTION:
This has been fixed in Mozilla 1.7 and Mozilla Firefox 0.9.
