There is a newly announced vulnerability in the Javascript engine of Firefox 3.5. Mozilla is already working on the permanent fix. The temporary fix is to turn off the "just in time" Javascript rendering for the time being.

1. Enter about:config in the browser's location bar
2. Type jit in the Filter box
3. Double-click the line containing javascript.options.jit.content and set the value to false.

This will slow down rendering of Javascript pages, but will protect you if you accidentally land on a malicious web page. More details here
