Mozilla Firefox CVE-2013-0793 Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability

Description

Security researcher Mariusz Mlynski reported a method to use browser navigations through history to load an arbitrary website with that page's baseURI property pointing to another site instead of the seemingly loaded one.
