Notes

mdeslaur

mozjs* contain a copy of the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine. It is not feasible to backport security fixes to the mozjs* packages, as such, marking them as ignored. starting with Ubuntu 22.04, the firefox package is just a script that installs the Firefox snap starting with Ubuntu 24.04, the thunderbird package is just a script that installs the Thunderbird snap
