Mozilla Firefox 48.0 was officially released on the second day of August 2016, bringing various new features and improvements, such as the long-anticipated multiprocess functionality that similar products like Google Chrome and Internet Explorer had offered for so many years now. Other enhancements include various extra protection against harmful downloads on Microsoft Windows OSes, better Canvas performance via speedy Skia support for GNU/Linux distributions, multiple WebRTC improvements, as well as Rust language support for the media parser.
