Package: firefox-esr
Version: 60.6.1esr-1~deb8u1
Justification: user security hole
Severity: grave
Tags: security

Hello Debian-Team,

this security bug shall show that Firefox is going to be more and more unusable 
to be secure in the internet.

Today one of the most vulnerable things has happen, because all the 
addons/extensions has gone,
and there is no No-Script and Ublock or other Tracking-Protection any more.
It is not possible to reinstall them!

There are several articles about this out there like
* 
https://www.tenforums.com/browsers-email/131965-firefox-has-deleted-all-extensions-wont-reload-them.html
* 
https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/fixed-certificate-issue-causing-add-ons-to-be-disabled-or-fail-to-install/39047/12

When there is no fix for the used Firefox-Version, then a new browser solution 
is needed for Debian.
>From my point of view it's really a pity with the Mozilla Foundation.

Cheers
karsten
