The update includes a number of new items and lists several known issues. Mozilla Firefox Release Notes Edit to add: It appears that this update is to celebrate 10 years of Firefox. It seems a rather artificial celebration since evolution of the name to Firefox was based on a trademark dispute and brand confusion. (Yes, I started with Phoenix (2002), renamed Firebird (2003) and finally Firefox (2004). Having become disenchanted with the "Rapid Release Program", I have changed to Pale Moon as my primary browser.) Last edited: Nov 10, 2014
