MOZILLA FIREFOX LOCATION BAR SPOOFING VULNERABILITY

Security researcher Jordi Chancel reported an issue similar to one fixed in mfsa2009-44 in which a web page can set document.location to a URL that can't be displayed properly and then inject content into the resulting blank page. An attacker could use this vulnerability to place a legitimate-looking but invalid URL in the location bar and inject HTML and JavaScript into the body of the page, resulting in a spoofing attack.

Mitigation:

Users should upgrade to the latest version of Firefox to mitigate this vulnerability.
