Firefox 69 released

Post by tlmiller »

More information here.

No major front end changes. And if you've turned on many of the back-end changes (tracking protection) then not a lot of major changes on the backend, either. Mostly just new defaults, and further Flash restrictions. Personally, will be glad when Flash is completely gone, haven't had the flash plugin installed myself in over a year, so just tired of hearing about it.

Just installed it on Arch, and it could simply be my imagination, but it SEEMS a little faster to me.

Yeah, haven't gotten it outside of Arch either. I guess I'd get it on Windows if I deigned to boot it...but I doubt I will bother. Not in a gaming mood right now.

Probably means I got it on Neon if I update...wish I'd brought my work laptop home with me now. Speaking of, Plasma 5.16.5 was released yesterday.

Its definitely faster and is a bit more aggressive at stopping unwanted items.
