We already talked about the new features available on the desktop (Linux, Mac, and Windows) here and here, so now it’s time to take a look at the enhancements implemented by Mozilla in Firefox for Android as the Firefox 65 release promises improved performance and web compatibility, as well as better security. Probably the biggest change in Firefox 65 for Android is probably the enhanced security measures that Mozilla’s Firefox team worked on since the previous release by enabling the “Stack smashing” protection by default to prevent malicious actors from corrupting or taking control of a vulnerable program. This feature is also present in Firefox 65 for Linux and macOS.
