Browser Mozilla Firefox

Versão 84.0 Disponivel via FTP
Version 84.0, first offered to Release channel users on December 15, 2020
We'd like to extend a special thank you to all of the new Mozillians who contributed to this release of Firefox.

2020 was a year like no other. By March, the world dramatically changed. Despite that, we kept our schedule to release a new Firefox every month to keep Firefox working for you. While we eagerly look to the end of 2020, we thought to take stock of this unprecedented year. Along with all that is new with this release, see our list of top features that made 2020 a little easier.

New
  • Native support for macOS devices built with Apple Silicon CPUs brings dramatic performance improvements over the non-native build that was shipped in Firefox 83: Firefox launches over 2.5 times faster and web apps are now twice as responsive (per the SpeedoMeter 2.0 test). If you are on a new Apple device, follow these steps to upgrade to the latest Firefox.

  • WebRender rolls out to MacOS Big Sur, Windows devices with Intel Gen 6 GPUs, and Intel laptops running Windows 7 and 8. Additionally we'll ship an accelerated rendering pipeline for Linux/GNOME/X11 users for the first time, ever!

  • Firefox now uses more modern techniques for allocating shared memory on Linux, improving performance and increasing compatibility with Docker.

  • Firefox 84 is the final release to support Adobe Flash.

  • The Accessibility Panel now includes an option for displaying elements in their tabbing order in order to help developers see what elements are focusable when tabbing and in what sequence.
unresolved
  • macOS users running on Apple Silicon systems may encounter playback errors on encrypted content if the Rosetta system software is not installed.

  • macOS users running Cylance antivirus software may see their Firefox installation get corrupted due to being erroneously flagged as malware.

Fixed

  • Fixed slower than expected performance and flickering on Canvas elements for some Windows users (bug 1683116).

O ficar diferente não me afecta muito, caso dê para voltar ao layout como queremos e estamos habituados. Mas normalmente quando acontecessem estas grandes mudanças não é bem esse o caso.
 
Coisas novas trazem problemas novos, o Firefox já tem anos de desenvolvimento, está num estado de maturação bastante evoluído e não aproveitar isso para uma evolução nova seria uma grande asneira. Assim, espero que os desenvolvedores do Firefox tenham juízo e façam as coisas bem feitas!!!
 
Versão 85.0

Version 85.0, first offered to Release channel users on January 26, 2021
We'd like to extend a special thank you to all of the new Mozillians who contributed to this release of Firefox.

At Mozilla, we believe you have a right to privacy. You shouldn’t be tracked online. Whether you are checking your bank balance, looking for the best doctor, or shopping for shoes, unscrupulous tracking companies should not be able to track you as you browse the Web. For that reason, we are continuously working to harden Firefox against online tracking of our users.


New
  • Firefox now protects you from supercookies, a type of tracker that can stay hidden in your browser and track you online, even after you clear cookies. By isolating supercookies, Firefox prevents them from tracking your web browsing from one site to the next.

  • It’s easier than ever to save and access your bookmarks. Firefox now remembers your preferred location for saved bookmarks, displays the bookmarks toolbar by default on new tabs, and gives you easy access to all of your bookmarks via a toolbar folder.

  • The password manager now allows you to remove all of your saved logins with one click, as opposed to having to delete each login individually.

A Mozilla está numa situação cada vez mais complicada. Vivem meramente do que a Google paga para que os coloquem como motor de busca predefinido. O Firefox está cada mais isolado em quota de mercado, já tiveram de despedir pessoas... A morte do Firefox e/ou da Mozilla parece eminente e cada vez mais irremediável.
 
Espero que estejas enganado.
Mas se vier mesmo a acontecer, ficará por cá instalada a última versão que estiver disponível aquando do falecimento. Tudo o resto é baseado em Chromium ou Safari para quem tem Mac.
