Workaround

Description
===========
An issue has been found in Firefox before 67.0.4, where an insufficient
vetting of parameters passed with the Prompt:Open IPC message between
child and parent processes can result in the non-sandboxed parent
process opening web content chosen by a compromised child process. When
combined with additional vulnerabilities this could result in executing
arbitrary code on the user's computer.
