Thanks for the heads up, just updated my version of FireFox, however it's not primary browser.
Luckily, I don't use Firefox and don't have to worry about being affected by this.
But I do have a packaged version of it and I should probably go update that now.
I just downloaded Firefox a couple of days ago. Did they fix that problem? If, not how do I make sure my browser doesn't have the exploit? If it does, how do I fix it?
I am pleased that I do not use firefox, I am sticking with my Microsoft edge
Well, it's a good thing I don't use Firefox :P
Thanks for the heads up man, very helpful.
