how do I check if I was affected by latest security bug
I have been using firefox 48.0.2 while the latest security threat came into news. Now I have updated already, but how can I make sure that nothing happened during the period while I was using older version of firefox? I do use noscript addons.

hi androdebugur, in case you are referring to the recently disclosed certificate pinning bug, eg. https://hackernoon.com/postmortem-of-the-firefox-and-tor-certificate-pinning-vulnerability-rabbit-hole-bd507c1403b4 i think it is quite improbably that it had practical implications.
for an attack to work, the attacker would need to be in a position to intercept, control and alter your network traffic and obtain a genuine trusted certificate for a mozilla.org domain - if both of these conditions applied i think there are also lots of other things to worry about, not only the integrity of addon updates...

Hi &nsp; !
As long as you haven't downloaded or clicked on anything suspicious, like fake updates, you have nothing to worry about.
You're apparantly on the alert for these kind of things: good for you !
