...the same exploit is present in Mozilla. I run Moz 1.6 and tried the exploit demo from <http://bronosky.com/pub/AppleScript.htm> and was floored to see that the bug wasn't just limited to Safari.

Just a FYI if nobody knew. If I'm reporting old news, my apologies.

Yep, it's just off handing 'help://' urls to the Help viewer app, the core bug (which is with the Help app) is the same.
