Recently when I start FF I receive many console error messages/warnings.

One of them is "www.paypal.com : potentially vulnerable to CVE-2009-3555". Is that a security threat? what about other warnings???

i checked my Java and FF and all is updated. Thx!

== maybe recent update to Adobe flash player and Jave, but I am not sure

That is warning notice for server operators to patch their server software. There's nothing a user can do to fix that vulnerability. I wonder why Mozilla even bothers reporting that to Firefox users, other than to let users know that the server they are connecting to needs to be patched.
