Upgrade mozilla to version 3.6.25 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 4.0, Thunderbird before 3.3, and SeaMonkey before 2.1 does not properly handle the :visited pseudo-class, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information about visited web pages via a crafted HTML document, a related issue to CVE-2010-2264.
