Firefox 52.0: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

  • new
    • Added support for WebAssembly, an emerging standard that brings near-native performance to Web-based games, apps, and software libraries without the use of plugins.
    • Implemented the Strict Secure Cookies specification which forbids insecure HTTP sites from setting cookies with the “secure” attribute. In some cases, this will prevent an insecure site from setting a cookie with the same name as an existing “secure” cookie from the same base domain.
    • Added user warnings for non-secure HTTP pages with logins. Firefox now displays a “This connection is not secure” message when users click into the username and password fields on pages that don’t use HTTPS.
    • Enabled multi-process Firefox for Windows users with touch screens
    • Enhanced Sync to allow users to send and open tabs from one device to another.
  • fixed
    • Various security fixes
    • Improved text input for third-party keyboard layouts on Windows. This will address some keyboard layouts that
      • have chained dead keys
      • input two or more characters with a non-printable key or a dead key sequence
      • input a character even when a dead key sequence failed to compose a character
  • changed
    • Removed support for Netscape Plugin API (NPAPI) plugins other than Flash. Silverlight, Java, Acrobat and the like are no longer supported.
    • Display (but allow users to override) an “Untrusted Connection” error when encountering SHA-1 certificates that chain up to a root certificate included in Mozilla’s CA Certificate Program. (Note: Firefox continues to permit SHA-1 certificates that chain to manually imported root certificates.) Read more about the Mozilla Security Team’s plans to deprecate SHA-1
    • Improved experience for downloads:
    • Notification in the toolbar when a download fails
    • Quick access to five most recent downloads rather than three
    • Larger buttons for canceling and restarting downloads
    • Removed Battery Status API to reduce fingerprinting of users by trackers
    • When not using Direct2D on Windows, Skia is used for content rendering
    • Migrated Firefox users on Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems to the extended support release (ESR) version of Firefox.

  • unresolved

Firefox 54.0.1: https://www.mozilla.org/sv-SE/firefox/new/

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/54.0.1/releasenotes/

Utifrån det som skrevs om Firefox 54 och dess multiprocessläge, blev jag förvånad då jag installerade Firefox på Windows 10 och upptäckte att multiprocessläget alltjämt är avstängt som förval.

För att slå på det, får man gå till about:config och ändra browser.tabs.remote.autostart till true. Efter det beter sig Firefox som IE7 (Skyddat läge) på Vista: allt webbinnehåll (alla flikar) körs i en innehållsprocess med låg integritetsnivå. Vill man köra varje flik i en egen process, får man öka antalet processer i dom.ipc.processCount till ett högre tal än ett, kanske tio eller tjugo.

Sandlådan i Firefox är inte färdigutvecklad än (befinner sig på Level 1), men redan att köra innehållsprocesserna på låg integritetsnivå och starkare skydd mot buffertöverskridning (se Mitigations) är värdefullt.

Vissa tillägg hindrar multiprocessläget. Det kan man se på about:support.

Efter uppgradering av Firefox 56.0.2 till 57.0 då känner man inte igen utseendet nytt gränssnitt bl.a. nya flikar liknar Opera och Google Chrome. Och så nya namnet Firefox Quantum. Äntligen något nytt i Firefox bra med snabbåtkomst med Mest Besökta alltid kul med något nytt. Fliksystemet den hade förut har hängt med länge

Märker att Firefox 57.0 är väldigt stabil jämfört med dem föregående versionerna och att än så länge inte har släppts säkerhets uppdateringar som det alltid kom efter en release.

Citat

Crash on Broadwell-U with old microcode
On Windows and Linux, Firefox 57 and later crashes occasionally on Intel Broadwell-U processors unless the processor has sufficiently recent microcode.
The crash occurs if the processor vendor is GenuineIntel, family is 6, model is 61, stepping is 4 and microcode revision is 19 (hexadecimal) or lower.
Broadwell-U processors are typically used in laptops released in 2015.
