I think the key is that although vulnerable to exploit, it isn’t as vulnerable as with IE.

Schroepfer said because Firefox handles the animated cursors less directly, it makes it more difficult for hackers to exploit the vulnerability to affect Firefox users. He added that he hasn't seen any .ANI exploits aimed at Mozilla's browser, but that doesn't mean they're not out there starting to circulate on the Internet.

However, the MS patch to this vulnerability has been released and as usual keeping your OS and security applications up to date is important. We all know there are many that fail to do that and wonder why they get hit by exploits.
