[slackware-security]  mozilla-firefox (SSA:2024-083-01)

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.
  For more information, see:
