WF just got the 56.1, two weeks to the day that Mozilla released patches for 59 and esr. But as soon as it was released, yesterday I believe, Mozilla released new patches for the Quantum and esr versions, 59.0.3 and 52.7.3. Impact: High: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/ ... sa2018-10/

I can't begin to understand what this security patch is about--way above my head--but, left unpatched, is this anything that NoScript can even begin to protect against?

Going forward, very concerned about the security of WF being provided by one very conscientious, but very overworked developer.

I would think so. Even when a vuln can be triggered without active content, it generally isn't actually exploitable without active content.

A bit puzzled by the "more descriptive" title:

Methodist Federation for Social Action

Motley Fool Stock Advisor

Mesquite Fastpitch Softball Association (my first pick--makes the most sense )

Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory??? (last on my list, and wouldn't bet the ranch on that one.)

Thanks for you take on this. Guess we'll have to know more.

EDIT: Looks like you're on the right track with NS blocking WebGL: "Windows doesn't use OpenGL compositing by default, Linux/BSDs/Solaris are yet to enable, so this probably mainly affects Android/OSX . In the meantime, ESR52 got more secfixes."
