Strange... I lost all my logins when I updated.
I don't recall that ever happening before.

That is because the security advisories are normally published later than the release notes. 

Firefox ESR was updated to version 52.6.0.

What is CVE-2018-5089?
When I googled the first hit I got was Red Hat.
https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2018-5089

which led me here
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-5089

which led me here
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-5089
and that said CVE ID not found.

I feel like I'm going in circles. My avatar is circular but I dislike going in circles.  ;)

I found the same as you that the CVE is "reserved".  Mozilla points CVC-2018-5089 to a long list of Bug ID's:

Bug ID: 1412420, 1426783, 1422389, 1415598, 1410134, 1408017, 1224396, 1382366, 1415582, 1417797, 1409951, 1414452, 1428589, 1425780, 1399520, 1418854, 1408276, 1412145, 1331209, 1425612

Thanks.
Ignorance is bliss. I guess I'll stay in the dark on this one and be happy.  :o
