Free software enthusiasts and Firefox browser users are in luck, as Mozilla Firefox version 52 is now available for download and installation.
The development of this version took approximately two months, slightly longer than usual. This was due to the discovery of several security vulnerabilities that were quite costly to fix. However, these vulnerabilities are now completely eradicated.
The most notable aspect of this new version is its long-term support, as it will receive security updates until 2018. This makes version 52 ideal for working in all types of environments, offering a stable and long-lasting release.
As for the other new features, we will have an improvement in multi-device functions, since we will now be able to send what we are doing in one tab directly to another tab.
In addition, we'll see improvements to browser games , which are now faster and more powerful than ever. Security has also been enhanced, as we'll now be better notified when a connection isn't 100% secure.
In addition to the warning, there is a new, slightly stricter cookie policy , which is able to detect unsafe HTTP sites more easily, preventing you from falling for scams by online attackers using phishing or pharming.
Finally , the download system has been improved , as we are now notified when a download has failed and a button has been added to restart a download with just one press.
To download it, go to the official Mozilla Firefox website and look for the Linux version . You can also do it via the command line, typing "sudo apt-get install Firefox" in the case of Ubuntu, for example.
