Wow.  A GNU/Linux distributor who finally releases a security update for
Mozilla.  Isn't this a first?

There is a list of published issues at:

<http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html>

Now compare this to what some distributions are shipping (most of them

Apparently, browser (and mail client) security isn't something at which
you can beat the market leader easily, despite its sorry performance in
this regard.  8-/
