I think the issue has been raised and rejected at Firefox. Although OS

do they handle this security issue?

On my Jessie install, there are several complaints about missing
firmware for drivers for hardware I don't have... I ignore them. If
memory were tight I might look into suppressing the drivers from being
loaded, but it isn't, and the drivers aren't doing any harm, so I ignore
them on the basis that if I leave them alone, they seem to leave me alone.
