Starting with Firefox 55 in August 2017, users must choose which sites are allowed to activate the Flash plugin. Firefox Extended Support Release 52 continued to support non-Flash plugins until mid-2018. Starting with Firefox 52 in March 2017, plugins other than Adobe Flash are no longer supported in Firefox. In addition, the 64-bit version of Firefox for Windows only supports the Flash plugin.
Users choose which sites are allowed to activate each plugin. We can also download Firefox from its website (where it will appear in the next few hours), and even from the FTP, in case we do not want to wait to test its news.Starting with Firefox 47 in June 2016, all plugins other than Adobe Flash are click-to-activate. This update will be downloaded and installed automatically as soon as it is available, and we can check it (or force it) from the Help> About Firefox section. Users who have the browser installed will be able to use OTA updates to download and install this new version. The new Firefox 84 will reach all users today, as always, free.
Local URLs are now assumed to be safe, so mixed content warnings will not be displayed.įinally, indicate that this version of the browser is prepared to work on the new Apple ARM processors natively, although with some other problem.Ability to zoom to extensions, popups and browser bars by pressing Control and the mouse wheel.WebRender comes to macOS and linux receives a new rendering acceleration system.The Windows uninstaller no longer asks us for UAC permissions.Other important changes that we can take into account are: Since the arrival of Firefox 85 it will be impossible to open websites with this browser, unless we use the ESR version, in which case we will have a few more months to say goodbye to it. Adobe will stop supporting its plugin on January 1, 2021, and the developers will remove the plugin in their next updates. Of course, you have to bear in mind that removing permissions to some extensions can cause them to work badly, or not.Īnother important change to take into account is that this version will be the last one that Flash will bring. Users will be the ones who choose if they want to enable or disable these special permissions from the “about: addons” section. With it, developers can configure a series of optional permissions to enable new functions to the extensions.
This feature has been in the testing phase since October in the Nightly branch, and has finally reached all users. The first of the novelties that we find in this new version is a new optional permission system for extensions.
