Firefox 44: Find out what is new - gHacks Tech News

This week, Firefox 44 has been released to the public. The new version offers better video support (VP9, WebM in addition to h.264) and adds support for Brotli compression (a new, better compression than gzip) for HTTPS connections. Service Workers are also supported now. Furthermore, the new Firefox requires add-ons to be signed and it doesn’t connect to sites anymore that allow RC4 ciphers in their HTTPS configuration.
