As Firefox is a popular complementary or stand-alone browser, users should apply this fix and stay up-to-date. Most users will be automatically updated and they should apply this update if prompted.

MFSA 2008-20 Crash in JavaScript garbage collector
http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2008/mfsa2008-20.html

QUOTE: Fixes for security problems in the JavaScript engine described in MFSA 2008-15 (CVE-2008-1237) introduced a stability problem, where some users experienced crashes during JavaScript garbage collection. This is being fixed primarily to address stability concerns. We have no demonstration that this particular crash is exploitable but are issuing this advisory because some crashes of this type have been shown to be exploitable in the past.
