Very interesting... thanks for the heads up.  With Firebug, you can  
set it so that it's only enabled for certain sites.  I've been only  
enabling it for sites I want to debug and it seems that  
vulnerabilities like this are a reason to keep doing it that way.   
Limiting the number of sites that Firebug is enabled on also seems to  
help keep Firefox from hogging tons of memory too.
