    Firefox for desktops is now available for download. What's new in this version:

      Once again I remind you that the viewer supports scaling and navigation functions for page thumbnails, provides loading of TrueType and Type 1 fonts, can generate graphs and charts, supports working with compressed objects;
    • Also, with this version, by default, a new image scaling algorithm is included - “thumbnails should look much better ”;
    • And again , work was done to optimize the acceleration of browser startup;
    • Firefox will offer to reset the search settings via the address bar ("Awesome bar") to the default settings if they were changed by third-party software or through about: config;
