Firefox 74
Firefox 88 can be downloaded for Windows, macOS, and Linux from Mozilla's site. Because Firefox updates in the background, most users can relaunch the browser to install the latest version. The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites you visit in order to speed up your browsing experience. This article describes how to clear the cache. To clear your history (cookies, browsing history, cache, etc.) all at once, see Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox. A crash is what happens when Firefox closes or quits unexpectedly and the Mozilla Crash Reporter appears. If Firefox keeps crashing when you open it, this article will show you how to get it working again. Other problems with crashing: If Firefox starts without crashing but then crashes later on, see the Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly) article for solutions. Install Firefox Extended Support Release. Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) is an official version of Firefox developed for large organizations such as universities and businesses. Firefox ESR does not come with the latest features, but it does have the latest security and stability fixes.
[English]The Mozilla developers have released Firefox version 74.0 and 68.6.0esr on March 10, 2020. This is a new major version 74 for the browser, removing support for TLS 1.0/1.1, and a maintenance update for the long-term version (ESR).
Firefox 74.0.0
According to the release notes, this is a new major version of Firefox, which contains some new features.
- The login management has been improved by the possibility to reverse the alphabetical sorting (name Z-A) in Lockwise password manager. Access is possible under Logins and Passwords.
- With Firefox it is now easy to import bookmarks and history from the new Microsoft Edge browser on Windows and Mac.
- Add-ons installed by external applications can now be removed using the Add-ons Manager (about:addons). In the future, only users will be able to install add-ons; they cannot be installed by an application.
- The Facebook container prevents Facebook from tracking users on the web – Facebook logins, preferences and comments are automatically blocked on non-Facebook sites. However, users can create an exception exception by adding custom sites to the Facebook container.
- Firefox now provides better privacy for your web voice and video calls by supporting mDNS ICE, by disguising your computer’s IP address with a random ID in certain WebRTC scenarios.

The release notes also list some changes. For example, the Next button has been moved when uploading pictures and videos for Picture-in-Picture. On Windows, Ctrl+I can now open the Page Info window instead of opening the bookmarks sidebar. Ctrl+B still opens the bookmarks sidebar, making the keyboard shortcuts more useful for our users. The developers have disabled TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1. Web sites that do not support TLS version 1.2 now display an error page.
In addition, Firefox 74.0 has closed the vulnerabilities described on this page (some are rated High). And a bug with stuck tabs during reordering has been fixed. The browser can be updated via the help menu and About Firefox (worked fine ony my system). The new Firefox is also available for download here for various platforms. Alternatively you can download the browser via FTP.
