A newly discovered vulnerability, which the CTO of security services firm Secunia described this morning as affecting Internet Explorer 7.0, can also affect not only IE6 but Firefox versions 1.5 and 2.0, as observed by BetaNews in our own tests.

wonder if opera is affected? but it sounds like an issue with javascript

Hence the reason I use noscript.

Lovely to mainly use Opera these days.

It doesn't look like they tested Opera, it may very well have the same vulnerability.
