If hyperthreading is not disabled, a timing attack vulnerability exists, similar to previous Spectre attacks.

Firefox now makes use of it on the main thread and any worker threads. Note: users need to update to macOS 10.14.5 in order to take advantage of this change.. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 60.7, Firefox < 67, and Firefox ESR < 60.7.
