The system tray clock? Don’t blame him, he’s been sober for a year now!

It was that dastardly utility manager… always popping up when you least expect it.

Here is more information from about
Firefox Update.

From the post, “On July 10th, I posted about a security issue in URL protocol handling on Windows. In the previous example, Internet Explorer was the entry point and Firefox was the application receiving the bad data. Over the weekend, we learned about a new scenario that identifies ways that Firefox could also be used as the entry point. While browsing with Firefox, a specially crafted URL could potentially be used to send bad data to another application. We thought this was just a problem with IE. It turns out, it is a problem with Firefox as well. We should have caught this scenario when we fixed the related problem in 2.0.0.5.”
