Firefox 2.0.0.1 may have a flaw in how cookies are handled, allowing third parties to change the way it responds to phishing detection.

The flaw reportedly does not affect users who run the NoScripts extension like we repeatedly recommend on this forum.

Mozilla security chief Window Snyder said they will be addressing the vulnerability in the next update to Firefox, version 2.0.0.2.
