The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200605-06 (Mozilla Firefox: Potential remote code execution)

Martijn Wargers and Nick Mott discovered a vulnerability when     rendering malformed JavaScript content. The Mozilla Firefox 1.0 line is     not affected.

Impact :

If JavaScript is enabled, by tricking a user into visiting a     malicious web page which would send a specially crafted HTML script     that contains references to deleted objects with the 'designMode'     property enabled, an attacker can crash the web browser and in theory     manage to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running     the browser.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
