The most important feature of Mozilla Firefox 39.0 is the addition of two new functions that promises to keep you safe from phishing websites or any other type of malware while you surf the Internet. Two new options (“Block reported attack sites” and “Block reported web forgeries”) will be implemented in the Security section of the new tab-based preferences. Mozilla Firefox 39.0 will arrive on June 23, 2015.
