Mozilla this week shipped Firefox 67 for Windows, macOS and Linux with performance improvements that – when added to improvements that over the past year – make the browser 80% faster, according to the company.
Other changes to Firefox that surfaced in version 66 ranged from customized private browsing sessions – such as letting a user enable add-ons while in so-called “porn mode” – to running multiple builds at the same time, a Firefox first.
Security engineers also patched 21 vulnerabilities, two of them labeled “Critical,” Mozilla’s most serious threat rating. “We presume that with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code,” Mozilla reported. More than half the bugs – 11 all told – were ranked as “High,” one step below Critical.
