Yay, right. I agree that is difficult to blame it on Firefox. But that does not mean that there's not a problem. The distribution should take steps to protects their users. It just happens that the combination of MIME types, browsers and wine can lead an user to compromise his/her system. Shouldn't this hole be closed?

Couldn't the ubufox package include some programming that blocks wine programs from being executed? After all, I don't think it's common for an user to run windows programs from the web except in the case of viruses/worms.
