Upgrade mozilla to version 2.0.0.15 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.15 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.10 do not properly handle an invalid .properties file for an add-on, which allows remote attackers to read uninitialized memory, as demonstrated by use of ISO 8859 encoding instead of UTF-8 encoding in a French .properties file.
