Essential Firefox 1.0.1 update

Hey,

Somewhat off-topic, but there are a number of security vulnerabilities
in Firefox 1.0, Mozilla 1.7.5 and Netscape 7 which make it extremely
easy for people to ``phish''. It is possible to display the security
icon on non-encrypted pages, fake the URL in popup windows, and do other
nasty things.

I submitted a patch to VuXML that has been added to the database, so
people who are using portaudit should be made aware of this, but if you
aren't, please take the time to upgrade Firefox to the latest version.
