Mozilla today released its Firefox 40 open-source Web browser, providing Windows, Mac, Linux and Android users with updated features as well as multiple patches across 14 security advisories.

The biggest visual change in Firefox 40, however, is only going to be seen by Windows 10 users, which gets a new look to integrate into Microsoft’s new operating system. Users on Linux will now benefit from improved scrolling and graphics, which is an extension of Mozilla’s Project Silk that debuted for Mac OS X users with Firefox 39 in July.
