Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.20%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

Use-after-free vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox before 16.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.8, Thunderbird before 16.0, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.8, and SeaMonkey before 2.13 might allow user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving use of mozRequestFullScreen to enter full-screen mode, and use of the history.back method for backwards history navigation.
