The Debian security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Debian:13.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firefox package and not the firefox package as distributed by Debian.
If a malicious attacker has used another vulnerability to gain full control over a content process, they may be able to replace the alternate data resources stored in the JavaScript Start-up Bytecode Cache (JSBC) for other JavaScript code. If the parent process then runs this replaced code, the executed script would be run with the parent process' privileges, escaping the sandbox on content processes. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 60.
