Yes, but this is fixed in recent Firefox versions. see: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360493 The heise demo with JavaScript still works with Firefox 2.0.05 and Safari. On the other hand, if you can place JavaScript on a server, there are other means of stealing passwords. So don't be too fast with blaming Firefox.
