Descriptions

The unity-firefox-extension package could be tricked into destroying the Unity webapps context, causing Firefox to crash. This could be achieved by spinning the event loop inside the webapps initialization callback. Fixed in 3.0.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1.14.04.1 by shipping an empty package, thus disabling the extension entirely.

El paquete unity-firefox-extension podría ser engañado para destruir el contexto de las aplicaciones web de Unity, haciendo que Firefox se bloquee. Esto se puede lograr girando el bucle de eventos dentro de la devolución de llamada de inicialización de la aplicación web. Se corrigió en 3.0.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1.14.04.1 al enviar un paquete vacío, deshabilitando así la extensión por completo
