...pretty much describes everything you need to know. It's an Internet Explorer exploit that doesn't work on FireFox but does cause it to crash (stop responding).

I was informed about this by my ISP and didn't notice it in the bug list.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit the proof of concept website
2. Select the OS you are using
3. Watch it crash

Actual Results:  
All firefox windows stopped responding.

Expected Results:  
Continue normally.

After restarting FireFox, the Talkback agent did not report anything.
