Mozilla Updates FF; any impact to K-Meleon?

Mozilla has issued an update to FF today due to a security issue entitled: "Code execution via QuickTime Media-link files"

MFSA states products impacted are FF and SeaMonkey.

Can anyone advise if there is an impact to either K-Meleon or Pocket K-Meleon?

Thank you,

I tried all the test items that were with the writeup. None of them seems to start up the calculator on my system. Starting the calc program was supposed to indicate a sucessful exploit of the flaw. I am using KM 1.1.2 on XP SP2 fully updated. My QuickTime plugin is 7.2

No idea whether Firfox update has impact. We will see whether SeaMonkey project that uses the same GRE files as we will update.

I have extra installed Quiktime 7.2 today but was not able to launch calc.exe.

The tests launch an extra about blank window in K-Meleon.
They talk about a -chrome option - I wonder whether this causes it?
But I have do not remember to have heard about a -chrome start option for K-Meleon.

Noscript for K-Meleon exists also on alain's K-Meleon extension page.
Noscript suppresses the new error - in case that K-Meleon would be effected.
