When reusing existing popups Firefox would have allowed them to cover the fullscreen notification UI, which could have enabled browser spoofing attacks. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.9, Firefox ESR < 91.9, and Firefox < 100.
The Performance API did not properly hide the fact whether a request cross-origin resource has observed redirects. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 100.
Mozilla developers Andrew McCreight, Gabriele Svelto, Tom Ritter and the Mozilla Fuzzing Team reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 99 and Firefox ESR 91.8.

This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.9, Firefox ESR < 91.9, and Firefox < 100.
Firefox behaved slightly differently for already known resources when loading CSS resources involving CSS variables. This could have been used to probe the browser history. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.9, Firefox ESR < 91.9, and Firefox < 100.
Documents in deeply-nested cross-origin browsing contexts could have obtained permissions granted to the top-level origin, bypassing the existing prompt and wrongfully inheriting the top-level permissions. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 91.9, Firefox ESR < 91.9, and Firefox < 100.
Gentoo Linux Security Advisory 202208-14 - Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Mozilla Thunderbird, the worst of which could result in the arbitrary execution of code. Versions less than 91.12.0 are affected.
