Mozilla didn’t yet officially announced the Mozilla Firefox 49.0 web browser, which is used by default in the majority of the Linux-based operating systems, including Solus. As you might know, Firefox 49.0 was delayed by a week because of a critical certificate pinning issue, and it should now launch tomorrow, September 20, 2016. There aren’t any major new features included in Mozilla Firefox 49.0, so you shouldn’t get all that excited. Probably the most important ones are the improvements to HTML5 video and audio support, as everybody surfs YouTube these days, but we can all see some updates to the Reader Mode and Firefox Login Manager.
