  - When a HTTPS pages was embedded in a HTTP page, and there was a service worker registered for the former,
    the service worker could have intercepted the request for the secure page despite the iframe not being a
    secure context due to the (insecure) framing. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 84. (CVE-2020-26976)

  - If a user clicked into a specifically crafted PDF, the PDF reader could be confused into leaking cross-
    origin information, when said information is served as chunked data. This vulnerability affects Firefox <
    85, Thunderbird < 78.7, and Firefox ESR < 78.7. (CVE-2021-23953)

  - Using the new logical assignment operators in a JavaScript switch statement could have caused a type
    confusion, leading to a memory corruption and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects
    Firefox < 85, Thunderbird < 78.7, and Firefox ESR < 78.7. (CVE-2021-23954)

  - Performing garbage collection on re-declared JavaScript variables resulted in a user-after-poison, and a
    potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 85, Thunderbird < 78.7, and Firefox
    ESR < 78.7. (CVE-2021-23960)

  - Mozilla developers reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 84 and Firefox ESR 78.6. Some of these
    bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have
    been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 85, Thunderbird < 78.7, and
    Firefox ESR < 78.7. (CVE-2021-23964)
