293509 - Profile Stolen

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Security, defect)

Description

[wiliam mahler]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla Firefox 1.02

In dispute with owner of ISPHost.org, James Beckwith and in doing so, while 
using Firefox, suddenly, entering a url in the address bar started to become 
backwards.  Meaning istead of left to right, the address started to show up 
right to left while typing it in.  Correct http://www.isphost.org
Wrong, problem, http://.www

I shut down Firefox, restarted firefox and foun my profile was missing 
completely.  Fortunatly, all passwords were already cleared out.

I know nothing about technical gargon, coding etc.
My in-laws business associates do, http://www.m2tech.us

FWIW, I've put in alt.law-enforcement days ago, the entire diatribe of 
Beckwith under the name hostthis and W. K. Mahler and have all headers and 
emails of his threats etc. at your disposal.

There are known security holes in Firefox 1.0.2, please upgrade to the latest
version 1.0.4

It's impossible to say what happened here, and without more details there's no
way to know what needs fixing. User groups can be found at
http://www.mozilla.org/support/#community and they may be able to help you
narrow this down to something that can be fixed. Meanwhile upgrade to the latest
just in case one of the known holes was used.
