Just heard about this from a friend of mine and since I know of more than a couple of fellow FF users on here, I figured I'd pass it along.

Trojan.PWS.ChromeInject.A is a Trojan that registers itself as 'Greasemonkey,' a well-known collection of scripts that add functionality to Web pages rendered by Firefox. This piece of malware uses JavaScript to identify more than 100 financial and money transfer Web sites, including PayPal, collecting logins and passwords, which it forwards to a server in Russia. Trojan infection can occur via drive-by download or download duping according to several websites.
