So what does L10nRegistry actually do? The fact you've rushed an update out makes me believe it's something critical. Does this mean everyone using the release before this has been exposing information? If so what information has been exposed and how detailed is it? It might have been an idea to check on the last update to avoid this.

The L10nRegistry provides localized strings (translations) on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is not used on Android. The previous release did not expose information. The browser's Security Level was not set correctly in that version.
