Upgrade mozilla to version 43.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. The gdk-pixbuf configuration in Mozilla Firefox before 43.0 on Linux GNOME platforms incorrectly enables the TGA decoder, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) via a crafted Truevision TGA image.
