Multiple security issues have been found in the Mozilla Firefox web
browser, which could potentially result in the execution of arbitrary code,
information disclosure, denial of service or spoofing.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version
91.5.0esr-1~deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your firefox-esr packages.


Hi all,

After a recent upgrade of Firefox and Thunderbird (before this one 91.5) in oldoldstable (running Mate desktop), Firefox keeps asking me to be default browser, even though I have set it as default in Mate's default applications, and respond to that asking by click on 'don't ask me again'.

What is the result of:

$ xdg-settings get default-web-browser

Also, if you go to Firefox > Settings, is 'Always check if Firefox is your default browser' checked?


Furthermore, Thunderbird was also set as a default email client. However, if I click on a weblink in Thunderbird mail, another Thunderbird session opens (instead opening Firefox). And when I close both software, and check again for default Mate applications ... voila ... Thunderbird seems as magically selected itself for both mail client and web browser!

I'm not sure why it would do that, but perhaps set the default browser and mail client yourself and in Thunderbird > Preferences unmark 'Check if Thunderbird is the default mail client'.

btw I have been testing on Cinnamon, not Mate.

Cheers,
Emilio
