General info:
=============
The Firefox extension FBTest (http://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/FBTest) version =< 1.12b4 allows RCE on a host 
running tests.
This was only tested on Linux. If the user running FBTest would point extension to the URL containing malicious test 
cases (intentionally or by being lurked),
then JavaScript code can freely call Mozilla components using XPCOM framework. Some may say it's a feature and this is 
how extensions generally work. OK, cool.

Important notice:
=================
1) It should be crystal clear the FBTest is not part of Firebug.
2) It should be clear that FBTest is not distributed with Firebug.
3) It should be clear Firebug users are not affected in any way by any bugs in FBTest.
4) FBTest is just a helper extension primarily used by Firebug Working Group for testing Firebug.

Thanks to Firebug team and especially to Jan (Honza) Odvarko for help in coordinated disclosure of this advisory.
