    pointer owned by a column of the XUL tree element.

  - An error exists when displaying text in the location bar using the default
    Windows font. This can be exploited to spoof the URL of a trusted site via
    Unicode characters having a tall line-height.

  - An error in the implementation of the 'BrowserFeedWriter' object can be
    exploited to execute arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges.");
