Upgrade mozilla to version 45.1.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. Mozilla Firefox before 46.0 on Android does not properly restrict JavaScript access to orientation and motion data, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information about a device's physical environment, and possibly discover PIN values, via a crafted web site, a similar issue to CVE-2016-1780.
