Software Update: Mozilla Firefox 68.0.1

Mozilla released version 68.0.1 of its web browser Firefox a few days ago, the eleventh version based on Firefox Quantum. The browser has not only been given a new look and logo with Quantum, a lot has also changed under the hood. For example, the performance of the browser engine has been greatly improved, the search and address bar have been combined and a lot of security has been tinkered with. As a result, so-called legacy extensions are no longer supported. The following changes and improvements have been made in this version:
