Summary
Details

Previously Firefox for macOS and Linux would download temporary files to a user-specific directory in /tmp, but this behavior was changed to download them to /tmp where they could be affected by other local users. This behavior was reverted to the original, user-specific directory.
This bug only affects Firefox for macOS and Linux. Other operating systems are unaffected.. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 91.7 and Thunderbird < 91.7.
