This is a new major version which introduces new features.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I had already seen this information on December 10, 2018 at <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20220630021212\/https:\/\/www.ghacks.net\/2018\/12\/11\/firefox-64-0-release-information\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ghacks.net<\/a>, but my Firefox 63.x didn't find an update yet. Now I have searched for updates via the menu and the help command About Firefox and got the update offered for installation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Firefox 64\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/sZT2PFu.jpg\" alt=\"Firefox 64\" width=\"611\" height=\"281\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/64.0\/releasenotes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">changelog<\/a> contains a number of new functions in addition to some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/security\/advisories\/mfsa2018-29\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">critical security fixes<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Better recommendations: You may see suggestions in regular browsing mode for new and relevant Firefox features, services, and extensions based on how you use the web (for US users only)<\/li>\n<li>Enhanced tab management: You can now select multiple tabs from the tab bar and close, move, bookmark, or pin them quickly and easily<\/li>\n<li>Easier performance management: The new Task Manager page found at about:performance lets you see how much energy each open tab consumes and provides access to close tabs to conserve power<\/li>\n<li>Improved performance for Mac and Linux users, by enabling link time optimization (Clang LTO). (Clang LTO was enabled for Windows users in Firefox 63.)<\/li>\n<li>More seamless sharing on Windows: Windows users can now share web pages using the native sharing experience. You can access Share in the Page Actions menu<\/li>\n<li>Added option to remove add-ons using the context menu on their toolbar buttons<\/li>\n<li>New for enterprise users: Updated the policy engine on macOS to allow using configuration profiles to customize Firefox for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/firefox\/enterprise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">enterprise deployments<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unfortunately, the display of RSS feeds has also been removed from the browser; add-ons are now required to display them. Furthermore, Firefox kicks 64 Symantec certificates and no longer classifies them as trustworthy. Furthermore, about:crashes has been reworked for crashes and the MacOS keyboard shortcut for adding \"www\" and \".com\" to a URL is now Ctrl-Enter instead of [apple]-Enter. For developers, there are also minor new features. Martin Brinkmann has decribed the new browser features <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20220630021212\/https:\/\/www.ghacks.net\/2018\/12\/11\/firefox-64-0-release-information\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>. The feature Contextual Feature Recommender (CFR) will initially only be activated for the USA &#8211; but you will at least get to know what the Mozilla developers are thinking about. You can download the browser <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> or on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/all\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mozilla's developers have just released version 64 of the Firefox browser for Windows, Linux and macOS.
