NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firefox package and not the firefox package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The file-download dialog in Mozilla Firefox before 44.0 on OS X enables a certain button too quickly, which allows remote attackers to conduct clickjacking attacks via a crafted web site that triggers a single-click action in a situation where a double-click action was intended.
