I know I'm not the only one here who reads < Slashdot >, but I thought everyone should know. The posted something < here > and about a security flaw in firefox that has an easy fix.

Type:

about:config

into the address bar and hit return. That brings up a configuration page. Then change the item

network.enableIDN

to false by double clicking on it and changing the true to false.

Sorry if this is old news to people, but I though you'd want to know.
