Mozilla has released version 43 of its Firefox web browser, introducing a 64-bit version for Windows and crushing four critical and seven serious vulnerabilities.
The browser should now enjoy the security and performance boosts of 64-bit systems with fatter heap sizes to help fire up things like browser games and better address space layout randomisation defence.
Fresh tracking protection will make privacy wonks happy and marketing teams sad with the ability of users to deny sites the ability to snoop through content.
The release makes good on a year-long promise to bring 64-bit Firefox to Windows, dragging the variant out of the developer stream and into stable status.
Fifteen specific developer-relevant changes were implemented.
The security bugs were reported from a mix of independent and in-house researchers.
