Motivation for this change
  • Critical security fixes
  • Other improvements

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/68.0/releasenotes/
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2019-21/

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nix-review --run "nix-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

I could not build the source package. It results in OSError: [Errno 17] File exists: '/build/firefox-68.0/obj-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/_virtualenvs/init/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload'.
As the update contains critical security fixes, I made this PR only for firefox-bin rather than tackling the error. I will investigate it in the weekend if anyone don't.

Thank you for looking at this! 👍

Before I went on vacation I tried building the latest beta release. Removing the obj-x86_64-linux-gnu directory seemed to be fine. That seems to be an build artifact from the firefox release process that shouldn't be there(?).

Afterwards I was running into an issue with rust-cbindgen (mozilla/cbindgen#338) on newer version. I did not investigate further where that comes from. With my currently very spotty internet connection I can not continue on it as well. Manually verifying and disabling tests for now could work.
