What's New in Firefox

- Firefox theme now matches the Windows 10 OS Dark and Light modes
- Performance improvements for macOS users

- Faster tab switching
- WebGL power preferences allow non-performance-critical applications and applets to request the low-power GPU instead of the high-power GPU in multi-GPU systems
- Added content blocking, a collection of Firefox settings that offer users greater control over technology that can track them around the web. In 63, users can opt to block third-party tracking cookies or block all trackers and create exceptions for trusted sites that don’t work correctly with content blocking enabled
- 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

Fixed:
- Resolved an issue that prevented the address bar from autofilling bookmarked URLs in certain cases
