Folk,

There's a live 0-day flash vulnerability which is not fixed yet
[1][2]. If you use flash plugin I recommend you to enable the
click-to-play mode for it.

There's also a Fedora Firefox update with such change [3].

--------------------------------------

If you have SELinux enforcing in its default configuration you should
be safer, since it limits the abilities of Firefox plugins.
