That issue has never gone away.

There are web sites that can do this today as well as addons. The advice is to not go to such sites as well as uninstall addons. There is NO CURE for this issue and well discussed why this is. To give you a hint, the javascript bombs still work.

Try to use other browsers and always keep the addons and toolbars to a minimum.
