Description Doran Moppert 2021-09-08 01:09:16 UTC 
When delegating navigations to the operating system, Firefox would accept the `mk` scheme which might allow attackers to launch pages and execute scripts in Internet Explorer in unprivileged mode.


*This bug only affects Firefox for Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected.*
