the article says. they're WORKING on a patch...   for the time being, a TEMPORARY 'fix' is Disable JavaScript support in Mozilla Suite (1.7.x and lower), FireFox (0.x & 1.x), and Netscape (6.x & 7.x)

BTW, this bug is like 8+ years old.

Secunia hasn't discovered any "another" bug with JavaScript, all the same and fixed.

"We took a couple of small fixes for minor regressions caused by the
previous 1.0.2 security release and have one final round of builds. If
you all could help us test these, that would be great. The bugs we
fixed in this candidate are 287459 and 288006.
These two changes should be near-zero risk, but if you all could look
over the bugs, test around those areas, and report back here if you
find any problems, that would be great.

If all goes well, these candidate builds will become the final 1.0.3 release."

FireFox 1.0.3 (testing release):
windows
mac
linux

peace all.
