Adding this as a new attribute as software is likely going to break when we switch the default from the 1.7 branch to 1.8.

Motivation for this change
This updates firefox to the latest stable version.
Firefox sadly doesn't allow using a system sqlite database anymore. They removed the option from this version of the release. At least that means the backports will be easier for us…
I had to bump the libvpx version to the 1.8 branch as that is what they require now. I did introduce it as a dedicated attribute for now as it breaks building the ESR release of Firefox and likely others as well. In the long term I'd like to swap the arguments (the newest/latest one being libvpx and the old one only being used where it makes sense). Given the potential impact of that change (and that we've to rebuild everything that depends on libvpx) that is an effort for a dedicated PR.
Note the previous attempts of updating libvpx was discussed in #60826.
