Firefox 102.0 and 102.0esr

- You can now disable the automatic opening of the download panel every time you start a new download.
- Firefox now defuses tracking of query parameters when navigating websites in strict ETP mode.
and the following fix:
When using a screen reader on Windows, pressing Enter to activate an item no longer fails or clicks the wrong item and/or another application window. For the blind or those with very limited vision, this technology reads aloud what is on the screen and users can customize it to their needs (now on our platform with no bugs).
There is also improved security by outsourcing audio decoding to a separate process with stricter sandboxing, improving process isolation. Furthermore, various security vulnerabilities described here are corrected by the new version. Some vulnerabilities are classified as critical. For companies, various bug fixes and new policies have been implemented.
