Mozilla Firefox 55.0 Beta

Firefox 55.0 has been released by Mozilla. The official release date of Firefox 55.0 is August 8, 2017 ( tomorrow). The new version of the web browser is already available, and will be offered on August 8 to existing users of the web browser provided that they have turned updates on. The release is pretty big and includes WebVR, a new setting to fine-tune your browser’s performance, and much better responsiveness with Quantum Flow.

Can Mozilla save Firefox this time and compete the popular browsers like Google Chrome or Opera? Let’s just see the launch of Firefox 57 later in November.

Changes in Firefox 55.0 Beta:

  • Simplified installation process with a streamlined Windows stub installer
  • Firefox for Windows 64-bit is now installed by default on 64-bit systems with at least 2GB of RAM
  • Full installers with advanced installation options are still available
  • Made the Adobe Flash plugin click-to-activate by default and allowed only on http:// and https:// URL schemes.
  • Modernized application update UI to be less intrusive and more aligned with the rest of the browser. Only users who have not restarted their browser 8 days after downloading an update or users who opted out of automatic updates will see this change.
