Secunia Research has reported a vulnerability in Mozilla / Mozilla Firefox, which can be exploited by malicious people to spoof the content of websites.

The problem is that a website can inject content into another site's window if the target name of the window is known. This can e.g. be exploited by a malicious website to spoof the content of a pop-up window opened on a trusted website.

Secunia has constructed a test, which can be used to check if your browser is affected by this issue:

The vulnerability has been confirmed in Mozilla 1.7.3, Mozilla Firefox 1.0, and Camino 0.8.2. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Do not browse untrusted sites while browsing trusted sites.
