Details

Many users get different Plugins from our Plugin Finder Service and they will never notice that such an installed Plugin could have a security problem. Firefox should check installed Plugin-Versions and offer an Update if necessary. Example for such a critical security hole in Java : http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-101749-1
