ersion 52.0beta, first offered to Beta channel users on January 25, 2017
New - Added support for WebAssembly, an emerging standard that brings near-native performance to Web-based games, apps, and software libraries without the use of plugins.
- Implemented the Strict Secure Cookies specification which forbids insecure HTTP sites from setting cookies with the "secure" attribute. In some cases, this will prevent an insecure site from setting a cookie with the same name as an existing "secure" cookie from the same base domain.
- Added user warnings for non-secure HTTP pages with logins. Firefox now displays a “This connection is not secure” message when users click into the username and password fields on pages that don’t use HTTPS.
- Enabled multi-process Firefox for Windows users with touch screens
- Enhanced Sync to allow users to send and open tabs from one device to another.
Fixed - Improved text input for third-party keyboard layouts on Windows. This will address some keyboard layouts that
- have chained dead keys
- input two or more characters with a non-printable key or a dead key sequence
- input a character even when a dead key sequence failed to compose a character
Changed - Removed support for Netscape Plugin API (NPAPI) plugins other than Flash. Silverlight, Java, Acrobat and the like are no longer supported.
- Removed Battery Status API to reduce fingerprinting of users by trackers
- Improved experience for downloads:
- Notification in the toolbar when a download fails
- Quick access to five most recent downloads rather than three
- Larger buttons for canceling and restarting downloads
