[Wikitech-l] CI updated Firefox to 60 and Chromium to 69

[Antoine Musso]

Hello,

The CI jobs using Debian Stretch had their browser updated:

- Firefox v52  -> v60
- Chromium v68 -> v69

The reference task is: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T203902


If there is any trouble, please fill a subtask and we can help fix it or
eventually temporarily revert the CI configuration switch for your
repository.

Sincerely,

-- 
Antoine "hashar" Musso
