It looks like "webfriend" is right about NoScript. And I also browse unknown sites in a sandbox. Vista Ultimate comes with a Virtual PC that lets you run programs without saving it permanently to the Virtual PC image. And if you like what you see on the webpage in the Virtual PC, you can copy and paste it out to your normal OS. I took a peek at the exploit listed on Firefox’s developer page.

Unless of course said website was hacked. OTOH you could also run your browser sandboxed and you'll be safe! Alternatively if you have NoScript, it will probably block this exploit.

That does NOT automatically mean it is safer to use than the well known closed source alternatives. Opening a can of worms here and will be flamed for this I think ;) Further proof that the only reason a piece of software like Firefox is better is because it is open source where bugs and security issues can be resolved and perhaps be found faster.
