Updates 1/23/18 - FF 58
Firefox Version 58.0, January 23, 2018
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/58.0/releasenotes/
With this release, we’re building on the great foundation provided by our all-new Firefox Quantum browser. We're optimizing the performance gains we released in 57 by improving the way we render graphics and cache JavaScript. We also made functional and privacy improvements to Firefox Screenshots. On Firefox for Android, we’ve added support for Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) so you can add websites to your home screen and use them like native apps.
New
Performance improvements, including:
- Rendering graphics for Windows users by using Off-Main-Thread Painting (OMTP)
- Loading pages faster by changing how Firefox caches and retrieves JavaScript
Improvements to Firefox Screenshots:
- Copy and paste screenshots directly to your clipboard
- Firefox Screenshots now works in Private Browsing mode
Added support for credit card autofill
Added Nepali (ne-NP) locale
In case you missed it—57 Release privacy and performance feature:
Users can enable Tracking Protection at all times. Learn how to turn Tracking Protection on.
Fixed
Fonts installed in non-standard directories will no longer appear blank for Linux users
Various security fixes
Changed
User profiles created in Firefox 58 (and in future releases) are not supported in previous versions of Firefox. Users who downgrade to a previous version should create a new profile for that version. Learn about alternatives to downgrading on our support site.
Added a warning to alert users and site owners of planned security changes to sites affected by the gradual distrust plan for the Symantec certificate authority
