Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.55%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Through complicated navigations with new windows, an HTTP page could have inherited a secure lock icon from an HTTPS page. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 78.10, Thunderbird < 78.10, and Firefox < 88.
