Mozilla Firefox has released its Firefox 67 browser for Windows, Mac, Linux and Android. This is the tenth version since Mozilla released Firefox Quantum in November 2017, which focuses on performance and privacy.
The new version of Firefox includes the removal of less-used features, the suspension of unused tabs, faster startup, mining ban, digital fingerprinting, special navigation enhancements, audio input in the Android search tool, and other features.
According to Mozilla, Firefox has about 300 million active users, making it a major platform for web developers to take into account.
Firefox is better at performing tasks at the optimum time, resulting in faster page rendering, and the browser is reducing the less common features. Mozilla says searches at Instagram, Amazon and Google are now running 40 to 80 percent faster.
The browser now searches for alternative appearance patterns after the page loads, the autofill module is not loaded unless there is a form to complete it, and the unused tabs are stuck if it detects that the computer memory is low - less than 400 MB, reloading the unused tab since Period, from where you left off after clicking on them by the user.
Firefox starts up faster for those who have installed custom extensions, such as ad blocker, so that the browser now skips a bunch of unnecessary actions when they start.
Although these changes will help Firefox to compete better with the Google Chrome browser, Mozilla also works to improve privacy controls and browser protection, so that mining software, which tries to use the CPU, can be blocked for mining encrypted currency.
The user can also block digital fingerprints to prevent ads from being tracked on the Internet better. Private browsing - which does not track your browsing history and delete cookies when you close your browser window - has two new features: saving passwords and supporting extensions.
