Mozilla heeft versie 48 van zijn webbrowser Firefox uitgebracht. In versie 48 is onder meer de Google Safe Browsing-service, die al bescherming tegen schadelijke websites bood, nu ook ingeschakeld om gedownloade bestanden op kwalijke code te controleren. Daarnaast kunnen add-ons die niet door Mozilla zijn voorzien van een verificatie en handtekening nu niet meer worden gestart. Verder zien we natuurlijk ook weer diverse bugfixes en oplossingen voor beveiligingsproblemen. De complete changelog voor deze uitgave ziet er als volgt uit:
NewFixed
- Process separation (e10s) is enabled for some of you. Like it? Let us know and we'll roll it out to more.
- Roar for moar protection against harmful downloads! We've got your back

- GNU/Linux fans: Get better Canvas performance with speedy Skia support. Try saying that three times fast

Developer
- After version 48, SSE2 CPU extensions are going to be required on Windows
