There's a security update at mozilla for the ESR-68 version as #12. One of the snafu's involves this...
#CVE-2020-15664: Attacker-induced prompt for extension installation
Impact
high
Description:
By holding a reference to the eval() function from an about:blank window, a
malicious webpage could have gained access to the InstallTrigger object which
would allow them to prompt the user to install an extension. Combined with user
confusion, this could result in an unintended or malicious extension being installed.
If you work with blank pages (aka: opened and empty tabs for future use) keep this bug in mind. The obvious "fix" is to close all opened and empty tabs.
