2020-04-06 10:09
Mozilla has released critical security updates for Firefox and Firefox ESR on Friday, patching two vulnerabilities that are being actively exploited by attackers.
Update ASAP. Home users and enterprise admins are advised to implement the provided updates as soon as possible.
I would also urge home users to think about making Firefox update itself every time a new update is made available, as recommended by Mozilla.
If you generally don't think twice about installing offered updates, the "Automatically install updates" option might be the right thing for you.
The last actively exploited Firefox zero-day vulnerability before these was patched in January 2020.
