reason in bring this up is if a hacker hacks someone's system and has
knowledge of bug, he most likely will have disassembled add-on and knows
what he needs to know to cause serious problems.
at first, i thought author. after posting and more thought time, authors
tend to be too lax in testing and slow in fixing.
as for mozilla.org, their attitude has become 'not fixable, upgrade to
later version', which in many cases is not doable.
with cve.mitre.org, they just might issue a 'CESA' to remove add-on and
reinstall firefox, do not use add-on until bug is fixed.
