Story: Firefox phishing vulnerability discovered

A security vulnerability..??? this is a ridiculous story..!!
"To fall victim to such a scam, a Firefox user would have to click on a link in an email that pointed to a spoofed Web site and then download malware from the site, which would appear to be downloaded from a legitimate site."
so you "have" to be at a spoofed site already...then click a link to download files from a spoofed download area..... where is the problem... i hardly think that a spoofed site would link you to a legit download area...
