Mozilla heeft versie 31 van zijn webbrowser Firefox uitgebracht. In versie 31 is Firefox onder meer in Windows in staat om .ogg mediabestanden, en pdf-documenten te openen. Verder krijgen nieuwe tabbladen een zoekveld en wordt malware automatisch geblokkeerd wanneer deze in de downloadmap terrecht komt. Hieronder staat het complete overzicht van de verbeteringen die in versie 31 zijn aangebracht:
NewChanged

HTML5
- Removal of the CAPS infrastructure for specifying site-specific permissions (via capability.policy.* preferences).
