Firefox should soon ask you to update
Go to "About Firefox" and check the version number. You want to be running version 2.0.0.5, which fixes some important security problems.
As long as you're thinking about it, make sure you have automatic updates turned on. In preferences, click Advanced and choose the Update tab, then check the box for "Automatically check for updates". If it's already checked then you're fine. (Actually there are three checkboxes, I recommend checking all three, but the important one is the one for Firefox. The ones for addons and search engines are less important).
Technical details.
Until you get the update, run the NoScript extension to protect yourself. Most of the bugs are related to Javascript.
