Unlike the standard release of Firefox, user and enterprise added certificates are read from the operating system by default. Firefox 78 is the last major release with support for macOS versions 10.9, 10.10 and 10.11. Users of these macOS versions will be supported through Firefox. When you install Firefox 1.5.0.11, your Extensions and Themes may be disabled until Firefox 1.5.0.11 determines that either a) they are compatible with the Firefox 1.5.0.11 release or b) there are newer versions available that are compatible. Firefox was created by Dave Hyatt and Blake Ross as an experimental branch of the Mozilla browser, first released as Firefox 1.0 on November 9, 2004. Starting with version 5.0, a rapid release cycle was put into effect, resulting in a new major version release every six weeks.

In addition to our default, dark and light themes, with this release, Firefox introduces the Alpenglow theme: a colorful appearance for buttons, menus, and windows. You can update your Firefox themes under settings or preferences.

From mozilla-central to mozilla-release

• Firefox Nightly contains all the changes landed on mozilla-central. Regular Nightly releases occur about every 12 hours, with additional releases generated when a Nightly release has a major problem.
• Every 4 weeks, we merge the code from mozilla-central to our mozilla-beta branch. The mozilla-beta branch should now only get patches aimed at stabilizing the release. Any patch on mozilla-central that we want backported to our mozilla-beta branch should follow the approval rules for uplifts.
• Firefox Beta is released three times a week for Desktop, leaving us with 9 betas every cycle unless we have chemspills leading to additional betas. Firefox Beta 1 and 2 are shipped to a subset of our Beta population. The full Beta population gets updated starting with beta 3 only.
• At the end of the Beta cycle, a final build is validated by our QA and tagged for release into the mozilla-release branch.

Android specificities

• Firefox Nightly is released every 24 hours
• Firefox Beta is released once a week for Android, leaving us with 3 to 4 betas every cycle.

Release day activities/checklist can be found on the Release Day wiki page.

Our release schedule is meant to be flexible and we may occasionally modify the length of a cycle to be shorter or longer than the 4-5 week cycle mentioned. Check the Release Calendar to stay updated with the upcoming branch dates.

Nightly soft code freeze

The last few days of the nightly cycle, before merge day (when mozilla-central is merged into the mozilla-beta repository and a new release cycle starts), is a nightly soft code freeze, meaning that developers should not land on mozilla-central code that is deemed risky for the stability and general quality of Firefox and that features that are controlled by a pref and were not activated during the nightly cycle should not be activated during this week.

https://torrenthy.mystrikingly.com/blog/how-to-get-more-free-play-at-casinos. If you land code that introduces new crashers or lowers the overall quality of Firefox during that period, we will back it out instead of waiting for a follow-up fix.

All about Flags

tracking-firefoxXX

A flag which shows whether a bug is being investigated for possible resolution in the Firefox XX release. Bugs marked tracking-Firefox XX are bugs that must be resolved one way or another before a particular release ships. Release drivers will track and shepherd the bug until it is determined the bug no longer impacts the release.

Refer to these guidelines on setting the tracking flag

status-firefoxXX

A flag which represents the status of the bug with respect to Firefox XX.

• Approval Flags: Set on the attachment of a bug

All patches landing on mozilla-beta/release/esr branches must have these nominated by setting a ? flag.

The Process

1) If you think a bug needs to be addressed in a release:

• Set the tracking-Firefox XX: ? nomination on a bug for with helpful justification and keeping these guidelines in mind
• Mark the corresponding status flag as affected if the patch is still being worked on
• Once the patch is ready set the approval flag appropriately depending on which branches are affected

2) Members of Release Management go through all the bugs nominated for tracking and if in agreement that this bug needs to be investigated in that release we will go ahead and set tracking-Firefox XX: +. Once we track a bug for a particular release we will make sure to follow-up on the progress or help with any road blockers till you have a patch nominated for approval.

Note: Bugs denied for tracking-Firefox XX are still important. It merely means based on the information we have now,we do not feel the bug would prevent us from shipping a release. If new information comes to light, you need help getting more data before you can make the case for us to track, or you disagree with our assessment feel free to renominate again with additional justification.

With the introduction of the new Firefox Quantum browser in 2017 we changed the look, feel, and performance of our core product. Since then we have launched new products to complement your experience when you’re using Firefox and serve you beyond the browser. This includes Facebook Container, Firefox Monitor and Firefox Send. Collectively, they work to protect your privacy and keep you safe so you can do the things you love online with ease and peace of mind. We’ve been delivering on that promise to you for more than twenty years by putting your security and privacy first in the building of products that are open and accessible to all.

Today’s new Firefox release continues to bring fast and private together right at the crossroads of performance and security. It includes improvements that continue to keep Firefox fast while giving you more control and assurance through new features that your personal information is safe while you’re online with us.

To see how much faster Firefox is today take a look:

How did we make Firefox faster?

To make Firefox faster, we simply prioritized our performance management “to-do” list. We applied many of the same principles of time management just like you might prioritize your own urgent needs. For example, before you go on a road trip, you check for a full tank of gas, make sure you have enough oil, or have the right air pressure in your tires.

For this latest Firefox release, we adopted the well-known time management strategy of “procrastinate on purpose.” The result is that Firefox is better at performing tasks at the optimal time. Here’s how we reorganized our to-do list to make Firefox faster:

• • Deprioritize least commonly used features: We reviewed areas that we felt could be delayed and delivered on “painting” the page faster so you can browse quicker. This includes delaying set Timeout in order to prioritize scripts for things you need first while delaying others to help make the main scripts for Instagram, Amazon and Google searches execute 40-80% faster; scanning for alternative style sheets after page load; and not loading the auto-fill module unless there is an actual form to complete.
  • Suspend Idle Tabs: You shouldn’t feel guilty about opening a zillion tabs, but keeping all those tabs open uses your computer’s memory and slows down its performance. Firefox will now detect if your computer’s memory is running low, which we define as lower than 400MB, and suspend unused tabs that you haven’t used or looked at in a while. Rest assured if you decide you want to review that webpage, simply click on the tab, and it will reload where you left off.
  • Faster startup after customization: For users who have customized their browser with an add-on like a favorite theme, for example changing it to the seasons of the year, or utilizing one of the popular ad-blockers, we’ve made it so that the browser skips a bunch of unnecessary work during subsequent start-ups.

New Privacy Protections

Privacy has always been core to Mozilla’s mission, and the recent news and events have given people more reason to care about their privacy while online. In 2018, we launched privacy-focused features like opt-in Tracking Protection on the desktop, Tracking protection by default on iOS, and our popular Facebook Container Extension.

For today’s release we continue to bring you privacy features and set protections to help you feel safe online when you are with Firefox. Today’s privacy features include:

• Blocking fingerprinting and cryptomining: In August 2018, we shared our adapted approach to anti-tracking to address growing consumer demand for features and services that respect online privacy. One of the three key areas we said we’d tackle was mitigating harmful practices like fingerprinting which builds a digital fingerprint that tracks you across the web, and cryptomining which uses the power of your computer’s CPU to generate cryptocurrency for someone else’s benefit. Based on recent testing of this feature in our pre-release channels last month, today’s Firefox release gives you the option to “flip a switch” in the browser and protect yourself from these nefarious practices.
  • • • • To turn this feature on click on the small “i” icon in the address bar and under Content Blocking, click on the Custom gear on the right side. The other option is to go to your Preferences. Click on Privacy & Security on the left hand side. From there, users will see Content Blocking listed at the top. Select Custom and check “Cryptominers” and “Fingerprinters” so that they are both blocked.

• Personalize your Private Browsing Experience: Of the many types of privacy protections that Firefox offers, Private Browsing continues to be one of our most popular features. Private Browsing deletes cookies when you close the browser window and doesn’t track history. Plus, Private Browsing also blocks tracking cookies by default. Based on user feedback, we’re giving more controls for you to get the most out of their Private Browsing experience.
  • • • • Saving Passwords– Although you may enjoy what Private Browsing has to offer, you may still want some of the convenience from a typical Firefox experience. This included not having to type in passwords each time you visit a site. In today’s release, you can visit a site in Private Browsing without the hassle of typing in your password each time. Registering and saving passwords for a website in Private Browsing will work just as it does in normal mode.
        • Enable or Disable add-ons/web extensions – Starting with today’s release, you can now decide which extensions you want to enable or disable in Private Browsing. As part of installing an extension, Firefox will ask if it should be allowed to run in Private Browsing, with a default of Don’t Allow. For extensions you’ve installed before today’s release, you can go to your Add-Ons menu and enable or disable for Private Browsing by simply clicking on the extension you’d like to manage.

• • • • Online accessibility for all –Mozilla has always strived to make the web easier to access for everyone. We’re excited to roll out a fully keyboard accessible browser toolbar in today’s release. To use this feature, simply press the “tab” or “arrow” keys to reach the buttons on the right end of the toolbar including their extension buttons, the toolbar button overflow panel and the main Firefox menu. This is just one more step forward in making access to the web easier for everyone, no matter what your abilities are. To learn about our work on accessibility, you can read more on our Internet Citizen blog.
      • WebRender Update – We will be shipping WebRender to a small group of users, specifically Windows 10 desktop users with NVIDIA graphics cards. Last year we talked about integrating WebRender, our next-generation GPU-based 2D rendering engine. WebRender will help make browsing the web feel faster, efficient, and smoother by moving core graphics rendering processes to the Graphics Processing Unit. We are starting with this group of users and plan to roll out this feature throughout the year. To learn more visit here.
      • Smoother video playback with today’s AV1 Update –AV1 is the new royalty-free video format jointly developed by Mozilla, Google, Microsoft, Amazon and others as part of the Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia). We first provided AV1 support by shipping the reference decoder in January’s Firefox release. Today’s Firefox release is updated to use the newer, higher-performance AV1 decoder known as dav1d. We have seen great growth in the use of AV1 even in just a few months, with our latest figures showing that 11.8% of video playback in Firefox Beta used AV1, up from 0.85% in February and 3% in March.
