CVE-2022-22751
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
firefox-esr.desktop
Also, if you go to Firefox > Settings, is 'Always check if Firefox is
your default browser' checked?
It is checked but greyed (not possible to uncheck).
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'.
It was checked (marked), so I unmarked it.
btw I have been testing on Cinnamon, not Mate.
Cheers,
Emilio
The issue started after upgrading to Firefox 91.4.1esr (32-bit) on
Debian 9 stretch. Earlier today I upgraded to 91.5.0esr and the symptom
is persistent.
