[slackware-security] mozilla-firefox

New mozilla-firefox packages are available for Slackware 14.2 and -current to
fix security issues.

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/mozilla-firefox-60.2.1esr-i686-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded.
This release contains security fixes and improvements.
A potentially exploitable crash in TransportSecurityInfo used for SSL
can be triggered by data stored in the local cache in the user profile
directory. This issue is only exploitable in combination with another
vulnerability allowing an attacker to write data into the local cache
or from locally installed malware. This issue also triggers a
non-exploitable startup crash for users switching between the Nightly
and Release versions of Firefox if the same profile is used.
