Description

Now available.

It looks to me as if both the JS78 part and firefox itself contain security fixes in this version.

When I was looking at thunderbird in Arch's AUR I noticed that ./mach build was preceded by ./mach configure. Doing that separates the configuration (everything up to 'reticulating splines' which is where the generated (Python) 'config.status' reads all the moz.build files and invokes the build back-end generator). It seems to me that since these stages can be separated, that is a more educational way to go.

Security fixes listed at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2021-04/ Some are rated 'high', the JS78 fix appears to be the "use after poison" fix which is rated moderate.

Fixed in r24138.

I'm now generally regarding crashes as High severity even when NVD, and in this case upstream, mark them as Moderate or Low.
