Packed with dozens of performance enhancements, the Firefox 59 web browser introduces faster page load times by loading the cache stored on the user’s computer or the networked cache, faster loading of the Firefox Home content, and better graphics rendering on macOS by using OMTP (Off-Main-Thread Painting). Firefox Screenshots received support for basic annotations so you can highlight saved screenshots and draw on them, as well as the ability to re-crop the viewable section of the saved screenshot. Users can now drag-and-drop Top Sites on the Firefox Home page to rearrange them and customize the tabs and new windows.
