Can anyone confirm if 73.0b3 includes the same fix? Their "what's new" link in the beta's About window doesn't track with the beta release cycle. There's no revision listed, so I think the notes are for 73.0b1 still? At any rate, there's no mention of any security fixes. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/73.0beta/releasenotes/

I asked on Twitter if 73.0b2 had the fix and was told that it did, so we should be good!
I'm amazed this is allowed on hacker news. Anytime I've said anything remotely critical of Firefox it has been flagged and removed from here.
Complaining about getting flagged or downvoted makes it likely to be flagged or downvoted, on HN or elsewhere. Your comment doesn't even say anything negative about Firefox, it's just vague complaining.

There's a steady stream of criticism from other users that is not getting flagged (and is often highly upvoted). Consider contacting the mods using the footer link to ask what they think might be different about your comments that results in HN readers flagging them.
Use noscript. It's possibly one of the best add-ons out there now.
Unfortunately there are too many sites that refuse to work without javascript, so any security benefits is negligible because it's very easy to be social engineered into enabling javascript.
A warning and a fix within two days of releasing the affected version. I appreciate this team’s transparency and priorities.
