What's New?

Desktop:

Firefox 37 offers enhanced security for users on desktop OSes, as it incorporates the OneCRL centralised certificate revocation mechanism that promises improved protection against website impersonation by cyber-criminals.

Mozilla states that Firefox 37 users will be able to better view online videos via YouTube with Firefox's improved HTML5 support mechanism.

Generally, HTML5 video player is set by default, while viewing majority of videos on YouTube.

Along with the above enhancements, users of Mozilla's Firefox 37 should also check for an improved download experience, courtesy of the browser's new back-end download manager.

Mozilla has also added new locales that Firefox 37 will support, along with offering Yandex as the default search engine for users in Turkey (Turkish).

Finally, Firefox 37 for desktop lets users provide real-time feedback via the Heartbeat user rating system.

"Heartbeat ties user perception to technical information so we can take your feedback and feed that into future Firefox releases," states Mozilla.

Then, there are the conventional stability/performance enhancements, bug fixes and multiple developer level changes. To view a list of these changes, click here.
