Firefox 56 with CVE-2018-5124 fix

I`m still using Firefox 56 and I dont think I`m going to move to new version of Firefox. I tried to find patch of this CVE-2018-5124 fix for 58 but https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1423086 tels me "You are not authorized to access bug 1423086"

Maybe someone already did a patch for Firefox 56 ? or know the git patch for 58 ?

It's fixed in FF 58.0.1. The ESR version is also fixed.

Good luck with that. Your browser is one of the largest attack surfaces in your system and you need to keep it patched and up-to-date. If you want to avoid Firefox 57 and subsequent versions, go with an alternative browser, not Firefox.
