Version 64.0, first offered to Release channel users on December 11, 2018


Thank you to all of the new Mozillians who contributed to this release of Firefox!


New

  • Better recommendations: You may see suggestions in regular browsing mode for new and relevant Firefox features, services, and extensions based on how you use the web (for US users only)
  • Enhanced tab management: You can now select multiple tabs from the tab bar and close, move, bookmark, or pin them quickly and easily
  • Easier performance management: The new Task Manager page found at about:performance lets you see how much energy each open tab consumes and provides access to close tabs to conserve power
  • Improved performance for Mac and Linux users, by enabling link time optimization (Clang LTO). (Clang LTO was enabled for Windows users in Firefox 63.)
  • More seamless sharing on Windows: Windows users can now share web pages using the native sharing experience. You can access Share in the Page Actions menu
  • Added option to remove add-ons using the context menu on their toolbar buttons
  • New for enterprise users: Updated the policy engine on macOS to allow using configuration profiles to customize Firefox for enterprise deployments

Too bad that Firefox on my system is slow compared to Chrome and Opera
For me the speed is same on chrome than in firefox, if i use google as search engine

Firefox has bigger memory footprint, but it shouldnt be issue with 8gb ram these days

Just wait for a firefox 65 come up with stable release, set up strict mode and only thing you need is noscript

You talking of Strict Mode here?

Firefox 65: New Content Blocking Settings

Actually, you can set it now in FF 64 following the requirements as laid out in FF 65. IMO Mozilla just repackage the while thing to simplify usage.

But I disabled all these settings in FF to prevent telemetry data being sent back to Mozilla
