code, cross-site scripting or spoofing the origin of a download.

Debian follows the extended support releases (ESR) of Firefox. Support
for the 68.x series has ended, so starting with this update we're now
following the 78.x releases.

Between 68.x and 78.x, Firefox has seen a number of feature updates.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version
78.3.0esr-1~deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your firefox-esr packages.
