Launched on June 26, 2018, Firefox 61.0 “Quantum” web browser introduces multiple performance improvements, among which we can mention faster switching between tabs on Linux and Windows platforms, faster page rendering, a more consistent user experience, as well as an additional layer of customization for tab management. The Firefox 61.0.1 point release is now rolling out to Linux, Mac, and Windows users improving playback of Full HD (1080p) video stream on the Twitch live streaming video platform, as well as re-enabling support for download files from FTP sites linked from HTTP pages through the “Save Link As” right-click context menu option.
