We'd like to extend a special thank you to all of the new Mozillians who contributed to this release of Firefox.

New
  • With this release, Firefox introduces a number of improvements that make watching videos more delightful:
    • the Picture-In-Picture button has a new look and position, making it easier for you to find and use the feature.
    • Picture-In-Picture now has a keyboard shortcut for Mac users (Option + Command + Shift + Right bracket) that works before you start playing the video.
    • For Windows users, Firefox now uses DirectComposition for hardware decoded video, which will improve CPU and GPU usage during video playback, improving battery life.
  • Firefox is faster than ever with improved performance on both page loads and start up time:
    • Websites that use flexbox-based layouts load 20% faster than before;
    • Restoring a session is 17% quicker, meaning you can more quickly pick up where you left off;
    • For Windows users, opening new windows got quicker by 10%.
  • You can now explore new articles when you save a webpage to Pocket from the Firefox toolbar.

  • WebRender continues to roll out to more Firefox users on Windows.
Fixed
  • Screen reader features which report paragraphs now correctly report paragraphs in Firefox instead of lines.

  • Various security fixes
Changed
  • Credit card auto-fill is now more accessible with the card type, and the card number in the card editor now available to screen readers.

  • Printing dialog errors for invalid form entries are now reported to screen readers.
Developer
  • Developer Information
  • MediaSession API has been enabled by default which allows web authors to provide custom behaviors for standard media playback interactions, giving them more options than ever.

  • DevTools now shows server side events in the Network panel. This allows a server to send new data to a web page at any time allowing developers to see events they previously couldn't and help with lower-level troubleshooting.

A sensação com que ando de á tempos para cá é que o Firefox está a morrer, já há alguns anos. Não sentem o mesmo? Em marketshare no PC já foi inclusive ultrapassado pelo Edge segundo o Netmarketshare...
 
Desde que a Google deixou o projeto que tem sido sempre a pique... Mas continua a ser o meu browser de eleição.

A renderização que o Firefox faz a nível de fontes de texto continua a ser a melhor. Por exemplo, abram a zwame no Firefox e depois no Chrome e digam lá qual apresenta melhor qualidade a nível de textos.
 
E agora com o processo dos Estados Unidos contra a Google por monopólio eles podem ser obrigados a deixar de pagar para ser o motor de busca pré-definido no Firefox, o que será uma machadada fatal na Mozilla em termos financeiros. Veremos o que aí vem. Mas começo a suspeitar que a Microsoft vai segurar o 2 lugar e aos poucos subir até para aí aos 20% e a Google vai manter a maioria na mesma, ficando uma luta a dois. A Mozilla vai lentamente ficar para um distante 3 lugar.
 
Agora tenho um problema nao muito grave . Estou logado no youtube , fecho o browser e volto abrir mais tarde , quando entro no youtube diz para eu fazer login. Mas nem sempre faz isso.
