Mozilla released the Firefox 66 update on March 19, providing users of the open-source web browser with new features that enhance user experience and improve security.

Among the new features that have landed in Firefox 66 is one to block websites from autoplaying sound, which can be an annoyance. The search feature within the browser has been improved with enhanced capability to search across multiple open tabs on a user’s system. Additionally, security gets a boost in the new browser releases with patches for multiple vulnerabilities and an expansion of the number of web content loading processes.
