Since the disclosure of Spectre and Meltdown in 2018, a number of other variants or similar techniques have been discovered, as well, and though executing those types of attacks is not simple, the threat from them is significant. To make things worse, using a Spectre-like attack would allow to query and access data from the website.” “Suppose you have two websites open – and As illustrated in the diagram above, with current web browser architecture it’s possible that web content from both sites ends up being loaded into the same operating system process. In the worst case scenario, a malicious site might execute a Spectre-like attack to gain access to memory of the other site,” Anny Gakhokidze of Mozilla said in a post explaining the feature. “Without Site Isolation, Firefox might load a malicious site in the same process as a site that is handling sensitive information. The feature arrives in Firefox 94 for desktop, which Mozilla released today. With site isolation enabled, Firefox loads each site in its own separate process, preventing content from a benign site from being loaded with a potentially malicious site. Site isolation is a simple idea meant to address complex attacks that take advantage of the way that modern processors handle execution to allow malicious code to read memory in various locations. You probably want to disable auto-update in your freshly downgraded Firefox.In the newest version of Firefox, released Tuesday, Mozilla has introduced site isolation, a new feature that separates the contents of sites from each other as a method to defend against side-channel attacks such as Spectre and Meltdown. sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox-0.5.1 /usr/bin/firefox.Copy the files into your system: sudo cp -R firefox /usr/lib/firefox-0.5.1.
Unpack: tar jxpvf firefox-5.0.1.tar.bz2.Download a release for your system from.I didn't have to use it, but better safe than sorry. Use the bookmark manager ( CTRL+Shift+O) to make a backup of your bookmarks.Doing this will probably fuck up your system and my Firefox text rendering looks like shit now. If you still want to downgrade your Firefox for other reasons, here is how I downgraded my Firefox 6 to Firefox 5. So running an old Firefox should not be a long-term solution for anything. Mozilla has stated that they will no longer provide security patches for any but the most recent versions of Firefox. Note that if you plan to downgrade Firefox because your Selenium tests broke after a Firefox upgrade, there is a better way that doesn't involve downgrading.
