Hello. I have heard that Firefox is more secure then Internet Explorer 6. I am using Internet Explorer 6 currently and I would like to switch to Firefox due to security reasons. But, I have heard about some Firefox security vulnerability with web sites that have Unicode characters in Domain name. Can you tell me something more about this?

Hello. This was very interesting exploit, I have to admit. This has happened when domain names started to support non-Latin characters. Because many letters are similar in different languages (like "a" for example) phishing opportunity aroused. But, this is not Firefox only vulnerability. Every browser that supports Unicode is vulnerable to this threat.
