Among other goodies introduced by Mozilla’s developers in the Firefox 51.0 release, we can notice support for playing FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) content, a high-end gaming experience thanks to the implementation of WebGL 2 support, and the ability to view passwords before saving them in the built-in password manager. Other than that, Firefox 51.0 will make use of the Skia 2D graphics library for content rendering, add support for saving passwords for forms that don’t have “submit” events, inform users when a login page doesn’t offer a secure connection, as well as to provide a visual indicator in the address bar for the current zoom level used.
