Tabbed browser Securoty flaw

I didn't see this listed anywhere, not sure if it goes here, or security, but.....

It seems about all tabbed browsers have a design flaw or two you might need to be aware of. Effects desktop users more than servers IMO.

I read this in an article also about a nasty IE bug on the register. While I can see how this is a potentially dangerous thing, is there a logical response to the problem? nothing's technically wrong... apparently kde 3.3.1 fixes it... does anyone know what there is to fix?? all i could imagine is that a non-active tab isn't allowed to pop up boxes.... or is it more to do with the activated status on the inside that the demo exploit i saw uses?

nice read. apt-get upgrade or yum upgrade are a good thing to do right about now.

Yea, but is there even a fix for this yet? I haven't heard anything.
