Mozilla Firefox is vulnerable to privilege escalation. Due to a flaw found in the way Firefox handled certain add-ons, a web page containing malicious content could cause an add-on to grant itself full browser privileges, which could lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running Firefox.
