Faster, more secure, easier to use and sporting a new look, this latest Firefox release sets a new standard for web browser innovation. Mozilla Firefox project (formerly Firebird, which was formerly Phoenix) is a redesign of Mozilla's browser component, written using the XUL user interface language and designed to be cross-platform. It is small, fast and easy to use, and offers many advantages over other web browsers, such as the tabbed browsing and the ability to block pop-up windows.

Changes:

• WebRTC is now enabled by default.

• Firefox now follows display scaling options to render text larger on high-resolution displays.

• HTML5 audio/video playback rate can now be changed.

• Social services management implemented in Add-ons Manager.

• asm.js optimizations (OdinMonkey) enabled for major performance improvements.

• Improved WebGL rendering performance through asynchronous canvas updates.

• Plain text files displayed within Firefox will now word-wrap.

• For user security, the |Components| object is no longer accessible from web content.

• Improved memory usage and display time when rendering images.

• Pointer Lock API can now be used outside of fullscreen.

• CSS3 Flexbox implemented and enabled by default.

• New Web Notifications API implemented.

• Added clipboardData API for JavaScript access to a user's clipboard.

• New built-in font inspector.

• New HTML5 <data> and <time> elements.

• Fixed scrolling using some high-resolution-scroll aware touchpads feels slow.
