Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information, or execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that extensions could obtain auth codes from OAuth login flows in some circumstances.
