Description Doran Moppert 2020-08-20 02:20:54 UTC 
Given an installed malicious file picker application, an attacker was able to overwrite local files and thus overwrite Firefox settings (but not access the previous profile).


*Note: This issue only affected Firefox for Android. Other operating systems are unaffected.*
