CVE-2022-1096

I just heard that Chrome and Edge have updated due to a zero-day exploit as documented in CVE-2022-1096. Does that also apply to Firefox, and if so, do I need to do anything or are you folks working on it?

Thanks.

That is a specific issue in the JavaScript engine (known as V8) used in browsers based on the Chromium project. Firefox uses a different JS engine but probably someone has already checked whether it might have a similar issue and, if it does, Mozilla will push an update.
