When creating a callback over IPC for showing the Color Picker window,
multiple of the same callbacks could have been created at a time and
eventually all simultaneously destroyed as soon as one of the callbacks
finished. This could have led to a use-after-free causing a potentially
exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 117, Firefox ESR <
102.15, Firefox ESR < 115.2, Thunderbird < 102.15, and Thunderbird < 115.2.
