      Cross Site Scripting in Mozilla Firefox
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

     <http://www.mozilla.org/> Firefox is "a fast, full-featured browser that
    makes browsing more efficient than ever before .

    Firefox contains a security vulnerability in the way how it handles
    cross-domain image dragging, allowing a remote attacker to cause it to
    execute arbitrary JavaScript.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable Systems:
     * Mozilla Firefox version 1.0.1
     * Mozilla Firefox version 1.0

    Dragging an image into the address bar will cause Firefox to navigate to
    the image URL even if it is a JavaScript URL and the page to be navigated
    from is in a different domain than the page on which the image is shown.
    This may potentially allow attackers to preform a cross site scripting
    attack.

    Proof of Concept:
    <img src="javascript:alert(location.href)">

    A working example of the problem can be located at
