The company plans to make Firefox 58.0 official next week on January 23, but it looks like the open-source web browser is now available for download from Mozilla’s official download servers. Users can grab the new release right now for Linux, macOS, and Windows operating systems, and update their installations. Firefox 58.0 has been in development for the past two months, during which Mozilla’s engineers managed to add streaming compilation and a new two-tiered baseline compiler to make WebAssembly even faster, enable WebVR by default for Mac OS X users, as well as to add support for credit card info on form autofill.
