在明天正式发布之前,现在用户可以前往Mozilla官方服务器下载适用于GNU/Linux、Mac和Windows等平台的Firefox 68稳定版浏览器。本次版本更新幅度并不大,只是改进了部分核心组件、提升了浏览器稳定性,以及一些没有特别出彩的新功能。
例如在about:addons页面引入了全新的报告功能,从而让用户更方便地报告某个扩展程序和主题的安全和性能问题。新版中还支持从汉堡菜单中直接访问Firefox的账号设置,在色彩对比审查的网页上通过识别页面所有元素来实现全屏的色彩对比审查,为使用AMD显卡的Windows10用户提供WebRender支持。
Mozilla Firefox 68另一个有趣的变化就是推荐扩展程序(Recommended Extensions),它允许用户通过about:addons页面来寻找适合他们浏览器的高质量和安全扩展程序。当用户重新安装网页浏览器的时候,Firefox 68还在Windows 10的任务栏上添加了快捷方式,在孟加拉语(bn)本地语言中统一了bn-BD和bn-IN语言环境,删除了几个没有维护的翻译,并在CSS、HTML和JS上重写了AwesomeBar。
