  It was found that a Certificate Authority (CA) issued a fraudulent HTTPS
  certificate. This update renders any HTTPS certificates signed by that
  CA as untrusted, except for a select few. The now untrusted certificates
  that were issued before July 1, 2011 can be manually re-enabled and used
  again at your own risk in Firefox. However, affected certificates issued
  after this date cannot be re-enabled or used. (BZ#734316)

  All Firefox users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
  a backported patch. After installing the update, Firefox must be restarted
  for the changes to take effect.");
