Well, the easiest way to protect yourself from this problem (that is not new, as far as I remember) is to save more than one password for the form. Firefox will not fill the fields automatically until you select one of the usernames, so the bug doesn't work anymore.
Still, malicious pages can steal your password if they are on the same website as the login form... that is not that common (well... MySpace...)
