Updates 4/7/20 - Firefox

New

• With today's release, a number of improvements will help you search smarter, faster. Type less and find more with Firefox's revamped address bar:

  • Focused, clean search experience that's optimized for smaller laptop screens
  • Top sites now appear when you select the address
  • Improved readability of search suggestions with a focus on new search terms
  • Suggestions include solutions to common Firefox issues
  • On Linux, the behavior when clicking on the Address Bar and the Search Bar now matches other desktop platforms: a single click selects all without primary selection, a double click selects a word, and a triple click selects all with primary selection
  •  

• Firefox will locally cache all trusted Web PKI Certificate Authority certificates known to Mozilla. This will improve HTTPS compatibility with misconfigured web servers and improve security.

• Firefox is now available in Flatpak, an easier way to install and use Firefox on Linux.

• Direct Composition is being integrated for our users on Windows to help improve performance and enable our ongoing work to ship WebRender on Windows 10 laptops with Intel graphics cards.

Fixed

• Various security fixes  (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2020-12/)
