Hi,
This is pretty old news (20th October)
http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/10/20/1344208&tid=172&tid=113&tid=154&tid=114&tid=218

Its been fixed in Firefox (almost immediately in fact) but I have no 
idea about other browsers.
Firefox 1.0 isn't vulnerable, as it was released after the problems 
came to light.
It wasn't that much of a deal anyway, at least if you pay attention to 
what you click on screen. Designed to catch the "unwary".

Regards

alan
