PS: Speaking of security through obscurity: This:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1178058
is the bug for that Firefox CVE with exploits in the wild. It says:
| Access Denied
| You are not authorized to access bug 1178058. To see this bug, you must
| first log in to an account with the appropriate permissions.
The vulnerability is already public, but it is still not possible to view 
the bug details. (As far as I know, Mozilla actually NEVER opens up this 
kind of bug reports.) THIS is true evil security through obscurity.
