Continuing the “Quantum” series, Firefox 60 promises to introduce more privacy features by automatically turning off your computer’s webcam when you face-mute on sites, and the camera is in use so that the respective website won’t record you. The recording will continue when you resume the streaming. To improve the security of your logins, Firefox 60 will support Web Authentication, which lets you use a USB token to authentication to your favorite websites. Also, Firefox 60 will make it possible for IT admins to customize Firefox deployments in their enterprise environments with the new policy engine.
