Mozilla released its first 2018 web browser update on Jan. 23 with the debut of Firefox 58, which includes features designed to accelerate performance as well as patches for 32 security vulnerabilities.
Firefox 58 is the second major release in the Quantum series, which focuses on improving performance featuring Off-Main-Thread-Painting. According to Mozilla, OMTP improves the graphics frame rate for Firefox by as much as 30 percent.
Mozilla is also using Firefox 58 to remind users about the Tracking Protection feature, introduced in Firefox 57, that blocks tracking, including cookies and unwanted advertisements.
