Thanks for bringing this up.
After further research on your posted links it appears as though this behaviour is not exclusive to Firefox ... both IE6 & 7 (plus their derivatives) also suffer in exactly the same way (quotes below from the links you posted).
With that in mind I have changed the title of your post to make the IE users aware too

Note MSIE6|7 do the same.

(Microsoft's response on IE, "We are
aware of the issue you reported," makes me wonder if this attack will remain
viable on IE for some time, even after FireFox is fixed.)
