  The remote version of this software is prone to an improper file permission
  setting.

  This flaw only exists if the browser is installed by the Mozilla Foundation
  package management, thus this alert might be a false positive.

  A local attacker could overwrite arbitrary files or execute arbitrary code in
  the context of the user running the browser.";
