View more than one web page in a single window with this time saving feature. Open links in the background so that they're ready for viewing when you're ready to read them. Built with your security in mind, Firefox keeps your computer safe from malicious spyware by not loading harmful ActiveX controls. A comprehensive set of privacy tools keep your online activity your business.

Changelogs:

Bug 1153381 - Add a D3D11 ANGLE blacklist.

Bug 1148829 - Backport a safer version of part of bug 1061364 to make transitions stop running the refresh driver after they've finished.

Bug 1144649 - Make CCGraph::AddNodeToMap fallible again.

Crashing here is apparently fairly common. This restores the old behavior, so we at least

don't crash immediately, but instead enter a slow downward spiral of leaking.

This improves on the old behavior in that we only try and fail to grow the hash table once,

rather than on every add. khuey I think reported that the browser got very slow, because

you are going through the very slowest path of the allocator over and over.

Bug 1152022 - Update Readability to github tip.

Bug 1143299 - Make frame insertion methods deal with aPrevFrame being on an overflow list.

Bug 1152489 - Prevent getMostRecentHomePanel() from being called on null selectedTab.

Bug 1043612 - Persist the size of resizable in-content subdialogs.

Bug 1150430 - Set quickshare !visible and !enabled by default.

Bug 1153262 - Remove length comparison from testReadingListCache.

Bug 1153193 - Add EXTRA_DEVICES_ONLY flag to share intents.

Before we only added this flag to the share intent used by the browser toolbar

menu.

Practically, this has the effect of having "Add to <current channel>" opening

the share overlay with *only* the device list wherever getShareIntent() is

used. Ideally, this method is used anywhere we use ACTION_SEND.

I've noticed this change makes both sharing from the long-press context menu

and about:reader to display *only* the device list.

Bug 1149136 - Specify a min-width and min-height to avoid flex making things too small.

Bug 1152703 - Prevent desktop reading list sync errors from preventing sync from starting again.

Bug 1149230 - In-content preferences: missing padding between labels and learn more links in Advanced -> Data Choices panel.

Bug 1135344 - Don't let IPDL use names that are reserved for compilers.

Bug 1139560 - Update srcset web-platform expectations.

Bug 1139560 - <img>.currentSrc should be not be nullable.

Bug 1139560 - Fix srcset parser 'After descriptor' state mishandling spaces.
