Firefox And Mozilla Are Fixed

Actually, the title here is a little misleading. These two browsers are still subject to the browser IDN vulnerability; it's the preference that turns off IDN that is fixed. Mozilla and its derivatives have long had preference option to turn off IDN support (and thus turn off the vulnerability), but there was a bug that prevented the option from working. Even with IDN support switched off, IDN was still turned on. That bug is fixed in a new version released today.
