Mozilla Firefox, PDF Files and XSS

I read about this yesterday on BugTraq and within just one day i read another interesting news from Symantec (i found it via techmeme) regarding this new xss issue with pdf files

And what makes this interesting, because this problem only occur at Mozilla Firefox browser (with Adobe Reader 7 and below), and Internet Explorer 6 and 7 isn’t affected by this vulnerability issue as noted by Symantec :

This problem appears to be limited to the Firefox browser, which has a relatively large user base.

Although some other people are getting different results (look at the comments), and if it’s for me .. i already tried this with Firefox 2.0.0.1 installed on Windows XP SP1 .. and i don’t find any problem with it .. and that’s because i already disabled the PDF / Adobe Reader Plugin for Firefox browser since a long time ago because of another reason (actually i don’t really like opening files directly from the web especially PDF because it can cause a big slowdown to my system)

As a note, if you’re using Firefox you might try reading the Symantec weblog about this issue to find the quick fix for this problem
