Well, considering that Mozilla is still pre-release software (although
it is now very close to 1.0) and officially doesn't provide any support
for the "normal" (i.e. non distributor) user, people shouldn't expect
too much. Besides, this isn't the first time security vulnerabilities
were found in Mozilla, and there has never been any kind of announcement
or statement regarding this. The XMLHTTP-exploit is just the first one
which got any kind of publicity.

I think it's the responsibility of distributors like Netscape, Beonex,
etc. to inform the userbase of any security vulnerabilites, not
mozilla.org's.
