No, directives even implying that do not exist. That said, you obviously should be working to keep both pieces of software up to date. If someone told you that DHS created such a directive, I'd make them show it to you.

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

Mozilla Firefox is a free and open-source web browser developed by Mozilla Foundation. It is available for use on Windows, macOS, Linux, and BSD operating systems.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
