Firefox 70.0.1 arrives to introduce 4 minor changes

Firefox 70.0.1

Last Thursday, October 31, on Halloween, Mozilla launched a new version of its web browser. Is about Firefox 70.0.1, a minor update so minor that we did not find out until today that it is available. And we have found out by seeing what news / updates were available in Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa, the version currently in development whose repositories accept any new package beforehand, such as this new update to Mozilla's web browser.

In total, the page of the News list pick up 4 changes, two of them related to OpenH264 video in the Apple operating system macOS 10.15. Among the other two changes is a more important one that will prevent some web pages or elements that use JavaScript from failing to load. Below you have the short list of news for Firefox 70.0.1.

What's new in Firefox 70.0.1

  • Patch for an issue that caused some web or page elements using dynamic JavaScript to fail to load.
  • Updated the OpenH264 Plugin for macOS 10.15 Catalina users.
  • The title bar is no longer displayed in full screen view.
  • Improved OpenH264 video codec version for macOS 10.15 Catalina users.

The new version It is now available for Windows, macOS and Linux from your official website. As always, what Linux users can download from the previous link will be the Firefox 70.0.1 binaries, but we will still have to wait a little longer to see the new version as an update in our software center. This is not the case if we are using Focal Fossa, since Ubuntu development versions have a slightly more relaxed admission policy and accept all kinds of packages from official sources beforehand.

Firefox 70 I arrive last October 22 and it did so with news such as the new icon or improved support for dark mode that extends to all browser pages.
