This host is missing a security update according to Mozilla. Multiple flaws exist due to use-after-free in accessibility features of a document, out of bounds write in ANGLE, and memory safety bugs. Successful exploitation will allow attackers to run arbitrary code and cause a denial of service on affected system. Affected by Mozilla Firefox ESR version before 78.12 on Windows. Upgrade to Mozilla Firefox ESR version 78.12 or later. Please see the references for more information
