security@mozilla.org reports:

Firefox could have incorrectly parsed a URL and rewritten it to the youtube.com domain when parsing the URL specified in an `embed` tag. This could have bypassed website security checks that restricted which domains users were allowed to embed.

When a file download is specified via the `Content-Disposition` header, that directive would be ignored if the file was included via a `&lt;embed&gt;` or `&lt;object&gt;` tag, potentially making a website vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack.
