Firefox 51 released – the details

Mozilla has released Firefox 51 for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android.

The new version promises “a richer and safer experience on the web”, said Mozilla.

I.e. you won't notice a difference. I had no idea I was already running 51.

Mozilla added that it is continuing to roll out multi-process Firefox for desktop users.
“Instead of running all of Firefox in one process, Firefox now runs in two processes: one for the browser’s user interface and another for web page content.”
“Today, more than half of desktop users are running Firefox in multiple processes.”

Lol how long does it take them? Been promised since 2011 already. Chrome/Edge already had it since the get go.

I'm on the beta channel, and I think I've had multiple processes for a while now. Can't say I've ever noticed a difference in performance between Chrome and Firefox on my PC though, other than Chrome taking longer to start up.

You said I.e. coz in your subconscious you love internet explorer.
