Firefox 67 released for all platforms: speed up work and protect against mining

Mozilla officially released Firefox 67 browser update for Windows, Linux, Mac and Android. This build came out a week later than expected and received numerous performance improvements and new features. Mozilla has reportedly made several internal changes, including freezing unused tabs, lowering the priority of the setTimeout function when loading web pages, and so on.

However, the most important thing is the appearance of built-in protection against cryptominers on web pages. A similar feature has long been implemented in Opera. If Firefox suddenly starts using too much memory and processor resources, then you should activate protection in the "User Settings" and restart the browser.

Added support for the dav1d AV1 high-performance decoder and registration using the FIDO U2F API. And the WebRender feature is now enabled by default for all Windows 10 users who have a PC with an NVIDIA graphics card.

This release also improves Private Browsing, which now allows users to save passwords for websites, as well as select extensions they don't want to enable in "private" tabs. Of the little things, we note that now the toolbar, menus, downloads, and more are available from the keyboard.

Visual changes have also been made. In particular, it is now easier to access the list of saved website credentials. Simplified import of bookmarks and other things from the main menu.

The mobile version for Android has a widget with voice input for searching. But the function of the guest login, on the contrary, was removed. Instead, private mode is recommended.
