Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A 
web page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user 
running Firefox. (CVE-2010-3766, CVE-2010-3767, CVE-2010-3772, 
CVE-2010-3776, CVE-2010-3777)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled malformed JavaScript. A 
website with an object containing malicious JavaScript could cause 
Firefox to execute that JavaScript with the privileges of the user 
running Firefox. (CVE-2010-3771)

This update adds support for the Sanitiser for OpenType (OTS) library to
Firefox. This library helps prevent potential exploits in malformed
OpenType fonts by verifying the font file prior to use. (CVE-2010-3768)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox loaded Java LiveConnect scripts.
Malicious web content could load a Java LiveConnect script in a way that
would result in the plug-in object having elevated privileges, allowing 
it to execute Java code with the privileges of the user running Firefox.
(CVE-2010-3775)

It was found that the fix for CVE-2010-0179 was incomplete when the 
Firebug add-on was used. If a user visited a website containing 
malicious JavaScript while the Firebug add-on was enabled, it could 
cause Firefox to execute arbitrary JavaScript with the privileges of the 
user running Firefox. (CVE-2010-3773)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox presented the location bar to users. 
A malicious website could trick a user into thinking they are visiting 
the site reported by the location bar, when the page is actually content
controlled by an attacker. (CVE-2010-3774)

A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in the Firefox x-mac-arabic,
x-mac-farsi, and x-mac-hebrew character encodings. Certain characters 
were converted to angle brackets when displayed. If server-side script 
filtering missed these cases, it could result in Firefox executing 
JavaScript code with the permissions of a different website. (CVE-2010-3770)

After installing the update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes 
to take effect.
