Mozilla is rolling out a new update for its Firefox Quantum web browser. The new update bumps the browser to v63 and brings the following new changes and features.

  • Performance and visual improvements for Windows users
  • Firefox theme now matches the Windows 10 OS Dark and Light modes
  • Performance improvements for macOS users
  • WebExtensions now run in their own process on Linux
  • Firefox now warns about having multiple windows and tabs open when quitting from the main menu
  • Search shortcuts for Top Sites: Amazon and Google appear as Top Sites tiles on the Firefox Home (New Tab) page. When selected these tiles will change focus to the address bar to initiate a search. Currently in US only.

Apart from that, the company is rolling out a new update for Android users as well. The new update brings the following changes to the Android browser.

  • Quantum CSS improvements which improve page rendering times
  • Faster scrolling due to treating touch event listeners as passive by default

The new v63 update is available for Windows, Mac, Linux and Android. You can head to Mozilla’s website to download the new update for your device(s). Do let us know your thoughts on the new update in the comments section below.
