Of course, the new version of the browser also comes with plenty of security improvements, and this is one of the main reasons you should install version 84. Even if you install an older version of Firefox, the Flash plugin itself will stop loading Flash content after January 12, 2021,” Mozilla explains. Adobe and other browsers will also end support Flash at the end of 2020. There will be no setting to re-enable Flash support. Firefox version 85 (release date: January 26, 2021) will ship without Flash support, improving our performance and security. “Firefox version 84 will be the final version to support Flash. Additionally we'll ship an accelerated rendering pipeline for Linux/GNOME/X11 users for the first time, ever!” Mozilla announced today.įirefox 84 is the last version of the browser to support Adobe Flash Player, so beginning with Firefox 85, the plugin would stop working. “WebRender rolls out to MacOS Big Sur, Windows devices with Intel Gen 6 GPUs, and Intel laptops running Windows 7 and 8. There are also more WebRender improvements, and they are available on all supported platforms, including Linux. “Native support for macOS devices built with Apple Silicon CPUs brings dramatic performance improvements over the non-native build that was shipped in Firefox 83: Firefox launches over 2.5 times faster and web apps are now twice as responsive (per the SpeedoMeter 2.0 test),” Mozilla explains. And now developers across the world are working around the clock to optimize their solutions and prepare them for Apple Silicon, thus taking full advantage of the improvements the Cupertino-based tech giant has introduced on its very own ARM-based processor. While in theory, this is good news for everybody, the problem with this approach is that sometimes Firefox updates can ship with unpolished performance, eventually leading to post-installation problems experienced by users who update the browser.įirefox 84 is now available for download on supported platforms, and one of the most important changes is full support for Apple Silicon.Īs you probably know already, Apple launched the M1 chip in November and the first devices running it are already available for download. Mozilla has just released a new version of Firefox, its award-winning browser that’s currently the third most-used app worldwide after Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.Įarlier this year, Mozilla switched to a four-week release cycle for production builds of Mozilla Firefox, thus accelerating the release cadence and bringing major updates to all supported platforms much faster than before.
