In Firefox 39, a total of four critical vulnerabilities, two high-level flaws and six moderate bugs have been patched among a total of 13 fixes. According to the Mozilla security advisory, security issues relate to use-after-free vulnerabilities, poor validation processes, buffer overflow problems and a variety of memory problems.

I've been evaluatiing this for slacko5.7-2015 for a few days (release 7/2/2015). I must say that about:config WILL be your friend. In the forums, there is still a tweak needed for the logjam exploit, and two methods of ssl cert algorthms need "falsing". Search term is dhe. Presumably the "top two" neeed falsing.

BTW... just say no to "Pocket", using about_config.

***UPDATE ***
Just finished tweaking FF39. What a bloated mess. Gdmap is reporting about 35Mb gain in size as compared to FF27 ( 502Mb vs. 466Mb identical pup ). Caveat Emptor.
