Security Fix(es):

  * Multiple flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A
web page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
Firefox. (CVE-2016-2818, CVE-2016-2819, CVE-2016-2821, CVE-2016-2822,
CVE-2016-2828, CVE-2016-2831)
