All non-Microsoft browers include a flaw that allows URL spoofing using Unicode characters, which can be exploited by phishing scams seeking to steal login information for online banking accounts.
The attack can be disabled in Firefox and Mozilla by setting 'network.enableIDN' to false in the browser's configuration (enter about:config in the address bar to access the configuration fucntions)

Cannot find the "network.enableIDN' to false"

once you've typed about:config
you should see a configuration screen
type network.enable and it should narrow it down to two.

FF is not whack. Just set the value to false and everything will be fine. FF is anything but whack.

I really used I liked that browser alot, but it just crashes permanently with flash sites (they really need to fix that). switched back to safari for now.
