Ubuntu 5.04 : mozilla-firefox bug fix (USN-124-2)

high Nessus Plugin ID 20514

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

USN-124-1 fixed several vulnerabilities of Firefox. After that update, several users experienced XML errors on various actions like adding bookmarks (see https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10643).
After installing these new packages and restarting the browser, these problems should be fixed.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
