Summary
Mozilla Firefox was updated to the 10.0.12ESR release for

MFSA 2013-01: Mozilla developers identified and fixed

bugs showed evidence of memory corruption under certain
circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort at

code.

problems and crashes that affect Firefox ESR 10, Firefox
ESR 17, and Firefox 17. ( CVE-2013-0769
