Mozilla.org have released a new Security Patch for Firefox. This security patch is aimed to prevent URL spoofing used extensively by Phishing scams using International characters to fake domains so they look right in the address bar, but are actually very slightly different becuase they use international characters which look the same to you or me, but to a computer, are totally different.
