I have FireFox 5.0 I know there is a hidden trojen in 5.0.1. Do I need to worry about this issue in 5.0 ? http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/Fake-Firefox-update-includes-password-stealing-trojan-1319477.html )

There is no trojan in any version of Firefox which obtained directly from Mozilla. That article is talking about a fake update link that was discovered in email spam messages.

Mozilla does not send email messages about Firefox updates. If you get an email message like that, just ignore it.

Firefox has a built-in updater that handles Firefox updates all by itself.
