  • Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
  • Ubuntu 6.10
  • Ubuntu 7.04

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions:

  • Ubuntu 6.06 LTS: firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.13~prepatch070731-0ubuntu1
  • Ubuntu 6.10: firefox 2.0.0.6+0dfsg-0ubuntu0.6.10
  • Ubuntu 7.04: firefox 2.0.0.6+1-0ubuntu1

There is flaw on “about:config” under Firefox which can cause those malicious websites can exploit and retrieve the password saved. So, I do hurry update my Firefox version as well.

Further source information can read at Ubuntu news and Issue tracking system.
