Over the last few days, two new versions of Firefox were released, each addressing a single security vulnerability.
Firefox 67.0.3 fixes a critical flaw in the way Javascript objects are handled that can allow exploitable crashes. Targeted attacks in the wild are actively abusing this flaw.
Firefox 67.0.4‘s fix is for an as yet unexploited flaw that could potentially result in executing arbitrary code on the user’s computer.
Both vulnerabilities were reported to Mozilla by non-Mozilla security researchers.
You can wait for Firefox to update itself, or nudge it along by visiting Help > About Mozilla Firefox in its menu, found by clicking the (hamburger) button in the toolbar.
