Didn't I just post about Firefox getting updated?  Well, I'm not complaining, good for Mozilla. 

Looks like a memory corruption bug that was introduced in 3.0.9.  In particular the users of HTML Validator (a Firefox add-on) were receiving crashes, and upon further review of the situation, Mozilla found the mem corruption bug. 

Anyway, here's the security announcement from Mozilla.  Time to update, again.

This is a first cut of a list of "Swine Flu" related domains. In Europe, this flu is usually refered to as "Mexican Flu". Right now none of the domains is spreading  malware or running donation scams. One appears to seel questionable pharmaceuticals (symptoms-of-swine-flu.com). The rest are either just parked, or offer some kind of information and may try to make some money with Google ads. Lots of the "information" is very minimal/incomplete/hype, but this classification is beyond a quick scan of the content.

Please let us know if you come across anything of interest. (use our contact page)

The list comes from Bojan's passive DNS system. (he will talk about this at SANSFIRE in June... don't miss it ).
