I'd expect that too Ed, but...
In the year 2008, I expect an organization with a user base of hundreds of millions to have rigorous code review procedures. Most of their customers are attracted to the product precisely because they believe it will make them more secure. This is a major black eye to Mozilla.

Sounds like it slipped under the radar, so hopefully they'll learn from this and have it corrected by now. Take their black eye and move on.

Mozilla also relies on people to tell them about this out there. They wouldn't have anything to gain by ignoring it.
