- Mozilla Firefox 48.0.2:
* Mitigate a startup crash issue caused on Windows (bmo#1291738)

mozilla-nss was updated to NSS 3.25. New functionality:
* Implemented DHE key agreement for TLS 1.3
* Added support for ChaCha with TLS 1.3
* Added support for TLS 1.2 ciphersuites that use SHA384 as the PRF
* In previous versions, when using client authentication with TLS 1.2,
NSS only supported certificate_verify messages that used the same
signature hash algorithm as used by the PRF. This limitation has been
removed.
* Several functions have been added to the public API of the NSS
Cryptoki Framework. New functions:
* NSSCKFWSlot_GetSlotID
* NSSCKFWSession_GetFWSlot
* NSSCKFWInstance_DestroySessionHandle
* NSSCKFWInstance_FindSessionHandle Notable changes:
* An SSL socket can no longer be configured to allow both TLS 1.3 and
SSLv3
* Regression fix: NSS no longer reports a failure if an application
attempts to disable the SSLv2 protocol.
* The list of trusted CA certificates has been updated to version 2.8
* The following CA certificate was Removed Sonera Class1 CA
* The following CA certificates were Added Hellenic Academic and
