Firefox is fast, safe browser made by Mozilla and used by more than 400 million people. It supports all platforms. Firefox has many good features. It supports many add ons. It lets you import your Favorites, settings and other information, so you have nothing to lose. Tabbed view is supported and lets you open many web pages in a single window. You can easily stop annoying popup ads in their tracks with Firefox's built in popup blocker. Firefox keeps your computer safe from malicious spyware by not loading harmful ActiveX controls.

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
