hi gcroft1, yes this general vulnerability in firefox was brought to mozilla's attention a short while ago. a fix for it is in development and testing right now and will be pushed out to users as an update to firefox 50.0.2 later today.

a workaround in the meantime would be to disable javascript in the browser by default, then websites will be unable to exploit the vulnerability. you could use an addon like noscript for that purpose: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/noscript/
