Any thoughts on this? I'm sure it's much more of an issue with windows but I'm still interested.

The details as usual are pretty sparse, Have you come across an actual link to the bug? Does it affect all platforms?

Mozilla's response:

Mozilla is aware of the claim of a zero-day in Firefox as posted here: http://secunia.com/advisories/38608/. We cannot confirm the report as we have received no details regarding the reported vulnerability, such as a proof-of-concept or steps to reproduce. We’ve attempted to contact the researcher who discovered the issue but have not received a response.

Perhaps someone is trying to hype things up for no reason.

Journalists making up a story where there isn't one? Whatever next.

Some people are just jealous and bitter about Firefox's success.

Hearing news of this vulnerability causes me to feel certain emotions, but also to reflect upon some things and I may or may not adjust my behaviour accordingly.
