While a zero day is interesting news, I think a more interesting point is that the bug was reported by Qihoo 360. The company has a bit of a storied history when it comes to security: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qihoo_360 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qihoo_360
- pro_zac 7y ago"In 2012, a whistleblower reported a hidden backdoor in 360 Secure Browser." "In January 2020, a Reddit user reported Qihoo's presence in Samsung mobile phones as a pre-installed storage cleaner in the device settings, from where it sends data packages to Chinese servers." Definitely not a company one would expect to report vulnerabilities. Also odd that they would be find Firefox issues given their browser uses IE and Chrome renderers.
