Assumes facts not in evidence!
The article clearly states that Firefox is suceptible to this flaw which means popups can and do occur using Firefox. Several posters have given witness to that fact. This story is not about Windows Viruses or Spyware. The flaw is present even on Macs with Firefox. He merely attempted to deflect attention from the real problem.
