Description

The unity-firefox-extension package could be tricked into destroying the Unity webapps context, causing Firefox to crash. This could be achieved by spinning the event loop inside the webapps initialization callback. Fixed in 3.0.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1.14.04.1 by shipping an empty package, thus disabling the extension entirely.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

v < 3.0.0\+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1.14.04.13.0.0 ≤ v < 3.0.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1.14.04.13.0.0
Affected range stops below 3.0.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1.14.04.1, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
