The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4165-1 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, bypass security     restrictions, bypass same-origin restrictions, conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, bypass content     security policy (CSP) protections, or execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
