When first launching Firefox, you're bound to discover a browser that's relatively modern-looking, very geared towards the user experience (thanks to a plethora of GUI customization options), secure, fast (thanks to the latest Quantum engine), and very resource-friendly.įirefox has always been great at improving the user experience. What's more, Firefox has some undeniable advantages over Chrome and (for the sake of being objective) vice-versa. After all, stats only tell a part of the story. However, you can't really talk about Firefox without comparing it to Chrome. In a vacuum, Firefox would be the perfect fit for almost all the world, as it always was, and it still is an excellent browser. Launched in 2002, Firefox is the beloved browser that comes pre-bundled in almost all important distributions.

In a world dominated by Google Chrome, there's one browser that has always been relevant. In today's context, more and more of everything is moving online, making browsers even more valuable than, say, a decade ago. It’s good to see that Mozilla didn’t take much of a time to address the Linux operating systems.Things have come a very long way since 1990 when Tim Berners-Lee invented the first web browser. To download the Mozilla Firefox 48.0 64-bit and 32-bit binaries, follow this LINK. In case you are running one of the OSes mentioned, we highly recommend updating to the latest version now. Lastly, there are the regular bug fixes and improvements to the overall experience on GNU/Linux operating systems. Also, add-ons which aren’t signed or verified will no longer load when the web browser starts.

Other improvements include extra protection against harmful downloads on Microsoft Windows OSes, better Canvas performance via speedy Skia support for GNU/Linux distributions, multiple WebRTC improvements, as well as Rust language support for the media parser. First reported by Marius Nestor of Softpedia, the Mozilla Firefox 48.0 web browser has finally landed for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Arch Linux, SparkyLinux, CRUX, and Solus OSes.
