The bug was discovered shortly after Firefox 15 was distributed to users of the stable channel of the browser, and Mozilla has been working diligently ever since to resolve the issue... It is a issue of trust for Mozilla mainly, which can easily be lost if sensitive features are not working like they should. For users the situation may have been even more precarious as it may have forced them to explain their browsing activities to third parties..."
