Security Issue in Firefox

Techworld is reporting ( http://dailynews.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/120756 ) that there are a couple of critical vulnerabilities in Firefox. Until a patch is made available they're suggesting that users turn off JavaScript. Here's how to turn off JavaScript in Firefox.

Go to Tools menu at the top of the screen.
Go to Options.
Choose Web Features on the left.
On the right you'll see several checkboxes. One of them says Enable JavaScript. Uncheck that box.

No JavaScript could break a lot of sites, so have a back-up browser handy, like Opera.
