I have developed a couple of websites, using JS preloading scripts generated
by Dreamweaver and they work fine on Firefox.

Please understand, I just tacked on my personal problem as an addendum.
It
has nothing to do with the security issues discovered.

NP, I was just saying security from the manner in which it acts when not
completing.

It was really irritating to develop a small site, preload images, and
then test with IE and FF and get different results all because of js.

Using DreamWeaver MX, patched, with IIS 6 (Win 2003) as the server, it
will hang using the native JS inserted by DWMX, even if I create a
single test page. While the page does not really hand, if you move over
a roll-over image that preloads, then to a non-linked area on the same
page, it will show "transferring data from ......" and will stay there
until you move over some other link on the page.

Well, I found out what my problem is. I was restricting 3rd party cookies.
Whenever a page would hand I saw in the bottom pane that doubleclick (or
something similar) was trying to load. It just won't quit. When once I
removed this restriction the pages load completely. Of course I am being
inundated with the damn cookies now!

Two new "extremely critical" problems have been found with Firefox over
the
weekend. http://secunia.com/advisories/15292/

Now that people are really looking at it (the coding structure) more
problems are coming to light. So it seems that Internet Explorer is not
alone.

My main complaint with FF is that some web pages NEVER complete
downloading,
even after five minutes. In IE the same page indicates "download
complete"
within a couple of seconds. And these are major news sites such as CBS
news,
ABC news etc.

I've actually experienced the "never completing" problem on websites
that use a java script to "preload" images. If you remove the java
scripting for the preloading the problem goes away, but that's not a
valid solution.

Not having read the article, it doesn't seem like a security problem,
but a processing problem.

I would disabled the third party cookies, many of which are tracking
cookies, and just hit the stop button when seems to be loading too long.
