Mozilla rushes to fix Firefox password bug

The bug popped up in Firefox 3.0.2, which Mozilla released Tuesday, after developers added a fix to make the browser's password manager work on international domain name (IDN) sites. IDN sites are those that have non-ASCII characters in their URLs, such as addresses with Arabic, Hebrew or Chinese characters, or ones with non-English diacritical marks.

Finally started paying attention to IDNs again. Most likely got activated by seeing how Chrome and IE8 have a full IDN support for all languages.
Last time they did something was in 2005 when they made them show as punycodes, if my memory serves me right.
Competition = good thing.
No shit, Sherlock?!
