Firefox 74.0.0

According to the release notes, this is a new major version of Firefox, which contains some new features.

  • The login management has been improved by the possibility to reverse the alphabetical sorting (name Z-A) in Lockwise password manager. Access is possible under Logins and Passwords.
  • With Firefox it is now easy to import bookmarks and history from the new Microsoft Edge browser on Windows and Mac.
  • Add-ons installed by external applications can now be removed using the Add-ons Manager (about:addons). In the future, only users will be able to install add-ons; they cannot be installed by an application.
  • The Facebook container prevents Facebook from tracking users on the web – Facebook logins, preferences and comments are automatically blocked on non-Facebook sites. However, users can create an exception exception by adding custom sites to the Facebook container.
  • Firefox now provides better privacy for your web voice and video calls by supporting mDNS ICE, by disguising your computer’s IP address with a random ID in certain WebRTC scenarios.

The release notes also list some changes. For example, the Next button has been moved when uploading pictures and videos for Picture-in-Picture. On Windows, Ctrl+I can now open the Page Info window instead of opening the bookmarks sidebar. Ctrl+B still opens the bookmarks sidebar, making the keyboard shortcuts more useful for our users. The developers have disabled TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1. Web sites that do not support TLS version 1.2 now display an error page.
