Firefox plugs security holes

The Mozilla Foundation released on Thursday <A HREF="http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1009_22-5589693.html?tag=zdnn.alert">an update to the Firefox Web browser</A> to fix several vulnerabilities, including one that would allow domain spoofing. The open-source project released Firefox 1.0.1 to fix, among other bugs, a vulnerability in the Internationalized Domain Names (IDN), a standard for handling special character sets in domain names that lets companies register domain names that appear to be the same in different languages.
