    New

    • Performance and visual improvements for Windows users

      • Moved the build infrastructure of Firefox on Windows to the Clang toolchain, bringing important performance gains
      • Firefox theme now matches the Windows 10 OS Dark and Light modes

    • Performance improvements for macOS users

      • Improved reactivity
      • 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

    • Firefox now recognizes the operating system accessibility setting for reducing animation

    • Added 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.

    Fixed

    • Resolved an issue that prevented the address bar from autofilling bookmarked URLs in certain cases

    Changed

    • In the Library, the Open in Sidebar feature for individual bookmarks was removed

    • The option to Never check for updates was removed from about:preferences. You can use the DisableAppUpdate enterprise policy as a substitute.

    • The Ctrl+Tab shortcut now displays thumbnail previews of your tabs and cycles through tabs in recently used order. This new default behavior is activated only in new profiles and can be changed in preferences.

    Developer

    • Refreshed visual style of Developer Tools menus to improve navigation and consistency

    • The Dev Tools accessibility inspector is now enabled by default. This tool surfaces information exposed to assistive technologies on the current page, allowing you to check what’s missing or otherwise needs attention.

    • Added support for Web Components custom elements and shadow DOM

    • The inspector now ships with a Font Editor that allows you to control non-variable as well as variable fonts

    Developer Information

    unresolved

    • Quick Heal internet security software might crash 32-bit Firefox on Windows. A workaround is documented from this support article until a fixed version of Quick Heal is available.

    (Note it's not a rival of CCleaner - they do totally different jobs)

    slimware utilities is a rival of piriform/ccleaner since years ago -> driverupdate is only another tool from there as for example recuva or defraggler from piriform 

    https://slimware.com/slimcleaner

    be careful with this - i dont know if this tool work fine now but in the past it did not so good. wrong driver for the wrong chipset you know... and then strained nerves and unnecessary work after a wrong installed driver...

    Slowdown or sluggish behaviour can happen if using a traditional magnetic hard disk instead of an SSD.

    yes, especially if windows think to create an restore point or other things in kingsize (gb´s) like an dumpfile or so

    Per-site JavaScript master switch

    A new per-site switch has been added to the popup panel, which acts as a master switch for JavaScript for the current site.

    a

    This master switch has precedence over dynamic filtering rules and static filters related to script resources.

    Furthermore, when JavaScript is disabled through this master switch, noscript tags will be honoured on a page (as opposed to when just using filters/rules to block script resources).

    As with some other per-site switches, the default state of per-site JavaScript master switch can be set in the Settings pane, thus allowing to disable JavaScript everywhere by default, and enable on a per-site basis:

    a

    JavaScript master switch rules appear as no-scripting: [hostname] true entries in the My rules pane.

    Temporarily toggle per-site switches

    From now on, changes to the state of per-site switches will be deemed temporary if and only if the overview panel is visible, regardless of whether "advanced user" mode is enabled.

    When the overview panel is not visible, toggling a per-site switch will cause the change to be permanent (i.e. same behavior as before).

    However, when the overview panel is visible, toggling a per-site switch will cause the change to be temporary. In such case, there will be an eraser and a padlock icon in the overview pane, which can be used to revert or persist the current state of all the per-site switches.

    Cache storage compression

    A new advanced setting: cacheStorageCompression, default to true. When true, uBO will lz4-compress data before storing it in its cache storage in supported platforms. Currently, the only supported platform is Firefox/Firefox for Android.

    The cache storage is used for storing downloaded filter lists, compiled filter lists, selfies. See uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues#141 for related discussion.
