Firefox has patched a JavaScript issue:

“…According to the associated advisory, Mozilla patched the bug primarily for stability reasons, but said that attackers might leverage crashes in JavaScript’s garbage collector. “We have no demonstration that this particular crash is exploitable but are issuing this advisory because some crashes of this type have been shown to be exploitable in the past,” the advisory read.”

The Firefox browser should have a pop-up informing the user of the patch. If the pop-up has not appeared, go to Help and then click ‘Check for Updates’. That will lead to the latest security patch.
