3. Browser hole affects Firefox 1.0.3 and 1.0.4
Secunia reports a frame-injection vulnerability in Firefox 1.0.3 and
1.0.4. Mozillazine has details, including a comment that you can
close the hole (until 1.0.5 is released) by clicking Tools, Options,
Advanced, Tabbed Browsing and changing "open links in a new window"
to "open links in a new tab in the most recent window":

A Secunia bulletin also notes that a similar hole has existed in
Internet Explorer 5.x and 6.x since June 2004 and has not yet been
patched by Microsoft (but there is a workaround):
