What happened

Mozilla security advisories and blog posts covering compromise of eight eMudhra intermediate certificate private keys, updates to Firefox and Thunderbird release-signing GPG keys, Web PKI root-store policy changes, responses to in-the-wild Firefox exploitation and Pwn2Own findings, mixed-content protection, and a Mozilla VPN security audit. The most urgent item concerns potentially unauthorized certificate issuance following the eMudhra key compromise.
