The About Mozilla Firefox About Firefox window will open.
In the menu bar, open the Firefox menu and choose About Firefox. Click the menu button at the right side of the Firefox toolbar, go to Help, and select About Firefox. If you're going to stick it to the man and avoid the Chromium browser engine, then supporting Firefox is a no-brainer. Firefox updates automatically by default but you can always check for updates at any time. One group particularly well served by the rapid release cycle have been developers, and a plethora of tools from Javascript Scratchpad (from Firefox 6) to full-blown Developer Toolbar (from Firefox 16) have worked their way into successive builds as Firefox courts this important community of users.Īnd underpinning this all are a constantly evolving set of performance improvements, standards support (HTML5 and CSS3 are constantly being added to, for instance) and bug fixes. Waterfox also offers Oblivious DNS, which makes it harder for your ISP to track your website connections, keeping what you do online private. We also saw the launch of specific development branches including UX, which has led to the new Australis user interface, which sees a streamlined tab, revamped menu and customisation features. Waterfox comes with built in tracking protection by default. Added user warnings for non-secure HTTP pages with logins. Enhanced Sync to allow users to send and open tabs from one device to another.
When accessing the Internet via a captive portal, Firefox will alert users and open the portal login page in a new tab. Some of the landmark new features we’ve seen include a per-site Permissions Manager, enhanced Sync options, tabs on demand, silent updates and add-on enhancements. Added automatic captive portal detection, for easier access to Wi-Fi hotspots. It’s true to say that individual updates often fail to deliver anything substantial, but cumulatively they roll together to produce a web browser that is radically different to the one – version 4 – that marked the start of a new era back in 2011. Not everyone gets by with the default browser on their computer, and when it comes to picking an alternative, Firefox is one of the most popular out there, having clawed back support from upstart rivals like Google Chrome and Opera in recent years by switching to a rapid release cycle, ensuring major new versions of the browser are released every six weeks. Check your Firefox version (in the About Firefox window) and look for (32-bit) or (64-bit) after the version number: If you see (32-bit) and you are running Firefox 56.
