No software is immune to defects, also called bugs, as the latest
critical vulnerability for Firefox shows. Once thought and reported to
be a typical ‘trademark’ of Microsoft, Firefox shows it can introduce
critical vulnerabilities with regular intervals as well. The advice at
this point is to turn off Javascript in the browser, which can be done
via the menu Tools->Options. Then select Web Features from the icons
on the left, and remove the checkmark from Enable Javascript. This will
have impact on the functionality of some web sites, since Javascript is
commonly used for providing interactivity.
