A serious security problem that was found in an updated version of Firefox was one that attacked images. The software library that Firefox used to display images was found to have what is called an integer overflow bug. And worse than that was that black hat hackers could run an exploit in that bug. That is why you should not be running a Firefox instance less than 10.0.2 from now on. If you do and you go to the wrong web page then your computer could become compromised. One malformed picture could cause you to have a really bad day.
