Package: firefox
Version: 66.0.1-1
Severity: grave

Hi,

severity grave since disabling security plugins makes the system more
vulnerable. Please lower if you disagree.

As you might have noticed from press and social media, all firefoxes
(including the installations on my desktop machines from Debian
unstable) have suddenly stopped using their installed plugins. I am
rather surprised that this has not yet made its way to the Debian BTS
yet.

Mozilla's suggested way of dealing with the issue is to install a
"study", which doesn't work in the Debian builds since that "feature" is
rightfully disabled in Debian's build configuration.

Hence, we need an different workaround or a fix.

Greetings
Marc
