This security flaw is specific to Firefox Focus, with other versions of Firefox being unaffected (Mozilla Advisory).

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from the absence of a notification system when a webpage enters fullscreen mode in Firefox Focus. This implementation flaw could allow a malicious website to spoof browser chrome without user awareness. The vulnerability has been assigned a high severity rating, with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (HIGH) and vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N (NVD).
