September 5, 2018. Thank you to all of the new Mozillians who contributed to this release of Firefox! Firefox Home (the default New Tab) now allows users to display up to 4 rows of top sites, Pocket stories, and highlights. “Reopen in Container” tab menu option appears for users with Containers that lets them choose to reopen a tab in a different container. In advance of removing all trust for Symantec-issued certificates in Firefox 63, a preference was added that allows users to distrust certificates issued by Symantec. To use this preference, go to about:config in the address bar and set the preference "security.pki.distrust_ca_policy" to 2. Added FreeBSD support for WebAuthn. Improved graphics rendering for Windows users without accelerated hardware using Parallel-Off-Main-Thread Painting. Support for CSS Shapes, allowing for richer web page layouts. This goes hand in hand with a brand new Shape Path Editor in the CSS inspector. CSS Variable Fonts (OpenType Font Variations) support, which makes it possible to create beautiful typography with a single font file. Latest Firefox Quantum release available with faster, always-on privacy with opt-in Tracking Protection and new features. We accept things in the online world that we wouldn’t accept in the physical one. For instance, how would you feel if you popped your head in a store and that store now had the ability to keep sending you flyers even if you didn’t buy anything? Online, we often visit sites that track us, but it isn’t clear when this is happening or how the information is being used. Adding insult to injury, this often invisible tracking actually slows down web pages. Since January 28 is International Data Privacy Day, it’s a good time to talk about one of Firefox Quantum’s most powerful features — Opt-in Tracking Protection. To jog your memory, we launched Tracking Protection in Private Browsing mode two years ago, which was unheard of at the time. Users could freely browse in Private Browsing mode without worrying about being tracked and getting inundated with ads. Since then we’ve studied Tracking Protection and found that, in addition to protecting their privacy, users actually have a better, faster experience with the web when pages load without trackers. That is why in November we upped the ante in Firefox Quantum and began offering our users the option to turn on Tracking Protection all the time. 24-7. Results based on test found here. Besides privacy, we noticed that speed was one of the many benefits to having Tracking Protection turned on. Everyone likes a fast browser. Check out the video: To turn on Tracking Protection, just open your “Preferences” and click on “Privacy & Security.” Scroll down to “Tracking Protection,” and click on “Always.” Now, you’re all set. It’s also available on your mobile devices, to learn how to turn on Tracking Protection, click on the following: Firefox for iOS and Android. More speed comes to Firefox for Fire TV this week. Leveraging the same Tracking Protection technology we use in Firefox and Firefox Focus, “Turbo Mode” will be available this week on Firefox for Fire TV. We’re calling it “Turbo Mode” because it gives you a faster and less cluttered browsing experience. The feature will be enabled by default. There may be times where sites may not load properly when Turbo Mode is enabled so the feature can be managed from the option menu in those instances. New features for today’s Firefox releases. With today’s release, we’re building on the great foundation provided by Firefox Quantum on desktop and adding new capabilities for Firefox for Android. A faster, smoother web with graphics engine enhancements. I’m sure you’ve all experienced that moment when you’re patiently waiting for a page to load, and the images and text get choppy. It slows down, and sometimes, it just hangs. We call this annoying phenomenon jank, and we’re always working on making Firefox less janky. To help reduce jank, today Firefox Quantum is launching an improved engine that more efficiently paints your screen, using a dedicated CPU thread. The impact of this improvement is that Firefox Quantum is now even faster, and on certain websites, much smoother. Just how do we know? Our engineers created a test that simulates running heavy JavaScript. While running this test, Firefox’s frame rate improved by 30% (from 31 to 40 frames per second). You can read more here. Frame rates based on Mozilla’s test described here. Solid progress, and we’re not stopping. We’re currently working on integrating WebRender, a next-generation web page renderer we initially developed as part of our Servo research project, into Firefox Quantum. We expect WebRender will result in Firefox Quantum having even faster frame rates. Stay tuned in the coming months to learn more about it. New features for Firefox for Android. Improved Bookmarking – We revised our bookmarking feature to help you quickly get to the sites you want to visit. Instead of a dialog box, you’ll get a full screen where you can easily organize and see your folders, create new ones, and move your bookmarks in your respective folders. Progressive Web Apps (PWA) Support – We’ve also improved Firefox for Android to better support PWAs, a specific type of website that can appear as a mobile app on your phone. When you are browsing in Firefox for Android and come across a website that is a PWA, you’ll see a house-shaped button in your address bar. If you want to add that website as an app, simply tap the house-shaped button and the website’s icon will appear on your home screen. Now, you can visit that website by simply tapping its icon – full-screen, outside of the browser UI, without an address bar. You can learn more about it here. If you haven’t yet switched to the new Firefox Quantum browser, we invite you to download the latest version. Windows XP users: Your last supported refuge in Firefox ends in 2018, says Mozilla. Mozilla announces end of life for the extended support version of Firefox for Windows XP and Vista. By Liam Tung | October 5, 2017 -- 13:16 GMT (06:16 PDT) | Topic: Security. Video: Firefox's 1GB Send app will self-destruct after just one download. Firefox-maker Mozilla is finally pulling the plug on support for Windows XP and Vista, removing the last remaining supported browser for the old operating systems. Firefox 52, released earlier this year, was the last fully supported version of the browser for XP and Vista. In March, Mozilla moved these users across to the Firefox extended support release (ESR) version, which only provides security updates. Tech Pro Research.

The non-profit says Firefox for XP and Vista will reach "final end of life" in June 2018. "As one of the few browsers that continues to support Windows XP and Vista, Firefox users on these platforms can expect security updates until that date. Users do not need to take additional action to receive those updates," Mozilla says. The date is actually a generous extension of the timeframe Mozilla was looking at last December, when it flagged the upcoming move to ESR, and said XP and Vista users could expect security updates until September 2017. With the exception of an emergency patch for Windows XP this year in response to WannaCry, Microsoft stopped patching it in 2014. Although Mozilla will continue patching Firefox for XP ad Vista, it is strongly urging users to move on to a supported version of Windows for security reasons. Mozilla and Google continued to support XP well after its official end-of-life due to a significant number of machines still running it. Google finally dropped Chrome support for Windows XP last April in Chrome 50 after extending a planned cut-off date in 2015 due to the then "millions" of people still using XP. The OS still runs on about five percent of the world's desktops, according to Net Marketshare figures. June 2018 is a generous extension for Windows XP and Vista users of the timeframe Mozilla was looking at last December. Previous and related coverage.
