I thought it could just examine URLs currently being visited. |

Whatever, I just set up the Mozilla security updates ppa, and upgraded to the fix. |

Mozilla has already issued a fix in the form of version 16.0.1. Firefox 16 re-released fixing multiple vulnerabilities |

I still think the Mozilla six week release cycle is beyond insane and guarantees more serious problems like this. |
