How to fix?

Upgrade mozilla to version 36.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Security Features. Mozilla Firefox before 36.0 does not properly recognize the equivalence of domain names with and without a trailing . (dot) character, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to bypass the HPKP and HSTS protection mechanisms by constructing a URL with this character and leveraging access to an X.509 certificate for a domain with this character.
