Firefox

I found a bug in the 2021 redesign of Firefox! On April 7 2021, we activated our new interface in Nightly (internally called Proton). Our last major update to the Firefox interface was the Photon UI with Firefox 57 in 2017. Firefox vs Chrome – Design and Interface. Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome have a similar.

This schedule is based on the current RapidRelease plan. Future dates may change if the process changes. Code is not always released to users on the same day as the branch migration. The release to users may be a few days later, to allow for manual testing and sign-off. Thunderbird tracks the ESR schedule column per Thunderbird release info.

  • Pros: - It is one of the most secure browsers available. It does not takes up a lot of ram when using it with multiple tabs opened. It has abundant add-ons and features. Cons: - There were some minor cons like auto shutdowns and crashes initially but they got fixed after updates. Overall: Overall, Mozilla Firefox lies more on the user-friendly side of browsers, but, at the same time, it.

The Nightly soft freeze is typically during the week prior to merge day. During this period high-risk patches should avoid landing until after the Nightly version bump lands on mozilla-central on merge day.

  • Irregular schedule targeting six to eight week intervals, adjusting for holidays, starting 2016.
  • Six week schedule from 2011 to 2015 (with some dates delayed to avoid conflicts with holidays).
  • Firefox 5 was on a slightly different schedule. It spent five weeks each on Aurora and Beta while later releases spent six weeks on each branch.

Impact
high
Description

A texture upload of a Pixel Buffer Object could have confused the WebGL code to skip binding the buffer used to unpack it, resulting in memory corruption and a potentially exploitable information leak or crash.

#CVE-2021-23984: Malicious extensions could have spoofed popup information

Reporter
Rob Wu
Impact
moderate
Description

A malicious extension could have opened a popup window lacking an address bar. The title of the popup lacking an address bar should not be fully controllable, but in this situation was. This could have been used to spoof a website and attempt to trick the user into providing credentials.

#CVE-2021-23985: Devtools remote debugging feature could have been enabled without indication to the user

Reporter

Impact
low
Description

If an attacker is able to alter specific about:config values (for example malware running on the user's computer), the Devtools remote debugging feature could have been enabled in a way that was unnoticable to the user. This would have allowed a remote attacker (able to make a direct network connection to the victim) to monitor the user's browsing activity and (plaintext) network traffic. This was addressed by providing a visual cue when Devtools has an open network socket. Dual boot linux osx.

#CVE-2021-23986: A malicious extension could have performed credential-less same origin policy violations

Reporter
Armin Razmjou
Impact
low
Description

A malicious extension with the 'search' permission could have installed a new search engine whose favicon referenced a cross-origin URL. The response to this cross-origin request could have been read by the extension, allowing a same-origin policy bypass by the extension, which should not have cross-origin permissions. This cross-origin request was made without cookies, so the sensitive information disclosed by the violation was limited to local-network resources or resources that perform IP-based authentication.
