Those folks who believe they are invulnerable because they run Firefox
instead of that browser from the Evil Empire might be interested in the

Firefox users are urged to disable JavaScript immediately as a temporary
workaround. Additionally, Mozilla recommends that the browser's software
installation feature be disabled. This can be done by unchecking the "Allow
web sites to install software" box, which can be found by selecting Options
on the Tools menu and then Web Features.
