Description:

   This update for MozillaFirefox to ESR 60.2 fixes several issues.

   These general changes are part of the version 60 release.

   - New browser engine with speed improvements
   - Redesigned graphical user interface elements
   - Unified address and search bar for new installations
   - New tab page listing top visited, recently visited and recommended pages

     authentication to web sites

   The following changes affect compatibility:

   - Now exclusively supports extensions built using the WebExtension API.
   - Unsupported legacy extensions will no longer work in Firefox 60 ESR
   - TLS certificates issued by Symantec before June 1st, 2016 are no longer
     trusted The "security.pki.distrust_ca_policy" preference can be set to 0
     to reinstate trust in those certificates

   The following issues affect performance:

   - new format for storing private keys, certificates and certificate trust
     If the user home or data directory is on a network file system, it is
     recommended that users set the following environment variable to avoid
     slowdowns: NSS_SDB_USE_CACHE=yes This setting is not recommended for
     local, fast file systems.
