There's a section on sequentiality hazards, to make the point that sequentiality isn't perfect either, to set up the case that concurrent systems can eliminate some hazards.

I looked in bugzilla.mozilla.org but couldn't find it (it is always
difficult to find stuff in that database; it's not categorized very well).

There is a list of vulnerabilities in old Firefox versions at
<http://www-archive.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html>,
but I don't really know the approximate version I'm looking for. Can you
see it there?
