No. But speaking as a current member of the security team I will
say that we've had a terrible time working with Mozilla.
In contrast to most other "large" projects the Mozilla Foundations
approach to security is:
* Here is a new release. It fixes bugs. Upgrade now.
Identifying a specific patch which fixes a specific security
issue is left as an exercise to the reader. Thankfully we've
had Alexander Sack and some other volunteers do this work for
us - but the Mozilla people haven't been as helpful as they
might.
