Software Update: Mozilla Firefox 61.0.1

Mozilla released version 61.0.1 of its web browser Firefox a few days ago. The browser has not only been given a new look and logo with Quantum, but a lot has also changed under the hood. For example, the browser engine is twice as fast as with Mozilla Firefox from six months ago, the search and address bar are combined and a lot of security has been tinkered with. As a result, legacy extensions are no longer supported. In version 61.0.1 the following changes have been made:

Fixed

• Fixed broken website loading for Chinese users with accessibility enabled (Bug 1471824)
• Fix missing content on the New Tab Page and the Home section of the Preferences page (Bug 1471375)
• Fixed loss of bookmarks under rare circumstances when upgrading from Firefox 60 (Bug 1472127)
• Improved playback of Twitch 1080p video streams (Bug 1469257)
• Web pages no longer lose focus when a browser popup window is opened (Bug 1471415)
• Fixed launching of downloads without a file extension on Windows (Bug 1465458)
• Re-allowed downloading files from FTP sites via the “Save Link As” option when linked from HTTP pages (Bug 1470295)
• Fixed extensions being unable to override the default homepage in certain situations (Bug 1466846)
