An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available.

Description:

MozillaFirefox was updated to Firefox 36.0.4 to fix two critical security
issues found during Pwn2Own:

* MFSA 2015-28/CVE-2015-0818 (bmo#1144988) Privilege escalation through
SVG navigation

* MFSA 2015-29/CVE-2015-0817 (bmo#1145255) Code execution through
incorrect JavaScript bounds checking elimination

Als fixed were the following bugs:
– Copy the icons to /usr/share/icons instead of symlinking them: in
preparation for containerized apps (e.g. xdg-app) as well as AppStream
metadata extraction, there are a couple locations that need to be real
files for system integration (.desktop files, icons, mime-type info).

– update to Firefox 36.0.1 Bugfixes:
* Disable the usage of the ANY DNS query type (bmo#1093983)
* Hello may become inactive until restart (bmo#1137469)
* Print preferences may not be preserved (bmo#1136855)
* Hello contact tabs may not be visible (bmo#1137141)
* Accept hostnames that include an underscore character (“_”)
(bmo#1136616)
* WebGL may use significant memory with Canvas2d (bmo#1137251)
* Option -remote has been restored (bmo#1080319)
