     Responses

   Firefox Extended Support Release 91.0 ESR

   * New: Some of the highlights of the new Extended Support Release are:

     - A number of user interface changes. For more information, see the
       Firefox 89 release notes.
     - Firefox now supports logging into Microsoft, work, and school accounts
       using Windows single sign-on. Learn more
     - On Windows, updates can now be applied in the background while Firefox
       is not running.
     - Firefox for Windows now offers a new page about:third-party to help
       identify compatibility issues caused by third-party applications
     - Version 2 of Firefox's SmartBlock feature further improves private
       browsing. Third party Facebook scripts are blocked to prevent you from
       being tracked, but are now automatically loaded "just in time" if you
       decide to "Log in with Facebook"
       on any website.
     - Enhanced the privacy of the Firefox Browser's Private Browsing mode
       with Total Cookie Protection, which confines cookies to the site where
       they were created, preventing companis from using cookies to track
       your browsing across sites. This feature was originally launched in
       Firefox's ETP Strict mode.
     - PDF forms now support JavaScript embedded in PDF files. Some PDF forms
       use JavaScript for validation and other interactive features.
     - You'll encounter less website breakage in Private Browsing and Strict
       Enhanced Tracking Protection with SmartBlock, which provides stand-in
       scripts so that websites load properly.
     - Improved Print functionality with a cleaner design and better
       integration with your computer's printer settings.
     - Firefox now protects you from supercookies, a type of tracker that can
       stay hidden in your browser and track you
       online, even after you clear cookies. By isolating supercookies,
        Firefox prevents them from tracking your web browsing from one site
        to the next.
     - Firefox now remembers your preferred location for saved bookmarks,
       displays the bookmarks toolbar by default on new tabs, and gives you
       easy access to all of your bookmarks via a toolbar folder.
     - Native support for macOS devices built with Apple Silicon CPUs brings
       dramatic performance improvements over the non- native build that was
       shipped in Firefox 83: Firefox launches
       over 2.5 times faster and web apps are now twice as responsive (per
        the SpeedoMeter 2.0 test). If you are on a new Apple device, follow
        these steps to upgrade to the latest Firefox.
     - Pinch zooming will now be supported for our users with Windows
       touchscreen devices and touchpads on Mac devices. Firefox users may
       now use pinch to zoom on touch-capable devices to zoom in and out of
       webpages.
     - We’ve improved functionality and design for a number of Firefox
       search features:
       * Selecting a search engine at the bottom of the search panel now
         enters search mode for that engine, allowing you to see suggestions
         (if available) for your search terms. The old behavior (immediately
         performing a search) is available with a shift-click.
       * When Firefox autocompletes the URL of one of your search engines,
         you can now search with that engine directly in the address bar by
         selecting the shortcut in the address bar results.
       * We’ve added buttons at the bottom of the search panel to allow you
         to search your bookmarks, open tabs, and history.
     - Firefox supports AcroForm, which will allow you to fill in, print, and
       save supported PDF forms and the PDF viewer also has a new fresh look.
     - For our users in the US and Canada, Firefox can now save, manage, and
       auto-fill credit card information for you, making shopping on Firefox
       ever more convenient.
     - In addition to our default, dark and light themes, with this release,
       Firefox introduces the Alpenglow theme: a colorful appearance for
       buttons, menus, and windows. You can update your Firefox themes under
       settings or preferences.
   * Changed: Firefox no longer supports Adobe Flash. There is no setting
     available to re-enable Flash support.
   * Enterprise: Various bug fixes and new policies have been implemented in
     the latest version of Firefox. See more details in the Firefox for
     Enterprise 91 Release Notes.

     MFSA 2021-33 (bsc#1188891):

   * CVE-2021-29986: Race condition when resolving DNS names could have led
