The user who discovered the problem was sent a link to a fake Myspace page that requested his login details.

Why do people still insist on clicking on links sent to them via email?

Isn't this Rule #1 for keeping your various login details secret?

This Firefox bug may be a problem but no software can protect the user from his/her own stupidity.
