The post is more of a public service to make sure those folks are aware of the magnitude of the issue and more importantly, get it fixed. Firefox has had some recent vulnerabilities, but auto-update settings will patch those. It impacts far fewer people and therefore isn't as news-worthy IMO. In the case of IE 5.01, IE 6, and IE 7, folks need to pull the download or wait for Windows Update to grab it. Bart, this exploit affects 90% of people that use the web in a browser.
