The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3391-1 advisory.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially     crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS)     attacks, bypass sandbox restrictions, obtain sensitive information, spoof the origin of modal alerts,     bypass same origin restrictions, read uninitialized memory, cause a denial of service via program crash or     hang, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7753, CVE-2017-7779, CVE-2017-7780, CVE-2017-7781,     CVE-2017-7783, CVE-2017-7784, CVE-2017-7785, CVE-2017-7786, CVE-2017-7787, CVE-2017-7788, CVE-2017-7789,     CVE-2017-7791, CVE-2017-7792, CVE-2017-7794, CVE-2017-7797, CVE-2017-7798, CVE-2017-7799, CVE-2017-7800,     CVE-2017-7801, CVE-2017-7802, CVE-2017-7803, CVE-2017-7806, CVE-2017-7807, CVE-2017-7808, CVE-2017-7809)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
