New mozilla-firefox packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix a security issue.
Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
patches/packages/mozilla-firefox-115.9.1esr-i686-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a critical security issue:
An attacker was able to inject an event handler into a privileged object
that would allow arbitrary JavaScript execution in the parent process.
