Update to the latest software version ASAP.

Versions 67.0.3 and ESR 60.7.1 has been released to users on WIndows, macOS and Linux desktop machines to mitigate a zero-day vulnerability dubbed CVE-2018-11707. The flaw does not arise or on Android, iOS or Amazon Fire TV iterations of the browser.

Pardon my ignorance but what do you mean by zero day vulnerability?

It means it is serious and is already being exploited.
i.e the hackers discovered the exploit before Firefox.
So needs to be patched immediately.

I seem to be running 67.0.4 which, I assume, is newer than .3 or is this incorrect?

Was just about to post the same!

I assume the update was automatic as I don't recall doing anything (recently, at least) to check for updates.

I'm on 67.0.4 as well which was released on 20th June, so a few days ago ....

Updates are automatic. You probably just need to do a restart and it will apply.
