There are currently many users using Mozilla Firefox.
However, there has been no confirmation of remote execution
of arbitrary code yet.

The Partial GET Request (HTTP 206 Status Code) of a WAV file
results in a Denial of Service of the application.
Last HTTP packet from Firefox before the DoS is listed below
in RAW format:
GET /fpaudio/footprints_waves.wav HTTP/1.1
Accept: */*
User-Agent: NSPlayer/11.0.6001.7001 WMFSDK/11.0
Is this firefox ?
UA-CPU: x86
Only MS set this header...
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Range: bytes=34848-
Unless-Modified-Since: Mon, 09 Jul 2007 12:44:57 GMT
If-Range: "4f0018-440f2-434d403204440"

This is not firefox.
The OK GET Request (HTTP 200 Status Code) of the WAV file is
listed below in RAW format:
GET /fpaudio/footprints_waves.wav HTTP/1.1
Accept: */*
User-Agent: Windows-Media-Player/10.00.00.3802
UA-CPU: x86
Oh ! It's seems that you've found the problem...
May be a bug in the Windows Media Player ?
Did your try this on IE ?
