Opera is a good closed-source alternative though. For you Mac users out there there's always <a href="http://www.apple.com/safari/" rel="nofollow">Safari</a> (Windows version available in beta). There's also <a href="http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">K-Melon</a>, which is FLOSS, for the Windows folks, as well as the Mozilla browser itself. For all of you out there running a Unix-based OS, I don't think I need to tell you all about your options. However, if you're unaware of what's out there <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_web_browsers_for_Unix/Linux" rel="nofollow">here's a list</a>.

Regardless, if someone reading this is looking for an alternative browser to use until this hole is patched, <a href="http://www.opera.ocm" rel="nofollow">Opera</a> makes a decent choice. It's not FLOSS (but rather free-beer closed source), but it <i>is</i> cross-platform and generally immune to IE and Fx vulnerabilities. Just a suggestion.
