If you were one of those 8 million people that downloaded Firefox 3 the other day be aware that Tipping Point DVLabs has announced a vulnerability in Mozilla's latest browser.

Details are unknown but in order for this exploit to work, you'll have to visit a site with the malicious code and click the infected link. Zero Day rates the severity as "High" and it effects both version 2 and 3 of the popular internet browser. Mozilla has acknowledged the security issue and should have a patch issued in its 3.0.1 release shortly.

With the amount of beta testing that's been done on Firefox 3 it makes you wonder why something like this slipped by?

In the mean time, be careful of where you click and make sure Firefox is set to auto update.
