Some of them do, some of them don't.  I don't have a complete list yet.

I've tracked down the most critical issues.  Take a look at these bugs for
the CVE ids I've identified.

Mozilla: 193906
Firefox: 193895

We're working on a patch for those particular issues.

Thunderbird has no critical bugs.

The Mozilla Foundation doesn't care about users running the older versions
of the suite and Firefox.  I could go into detail about their mishandling
of this, but I'd rather not.  They have no interest in coordinating with
vendors in any way.  They've done a very poor job communicating the EOL of
their products.

I personally consider releasing a critical update on a Friday very
irresponsible.  I've let them know this more than once, which has been
ignored.

All issues have CVE ids.  I'm attaching the CVE mails that detail these.
