Hello community,
here is another Stable/Security Update.
Mozilla Firefox 74 aims for more security. The headline change in Firefox 74 is the use of DNS over HTTPS by default for users in the USA.
- A privacy-minded feature, DNS over HTTPS encrypts all DNS requests made in Firefox 74 (requests which are normally done ‘in the open’). This helps prevent people snooping on internet traffic from discerning detail about the requests being made.
- Firefox 74 defaults to Cloudflare as the DNS resolver but users are able switch to NextDNS through the Preferences > Network Settings dialog.
- On the subject of privacy, Firefox 74 also (apparently) makes a dedicated Facebook Container available. Like other ‘containers’ the browser offers fwiw — this aim is to insulate and isolate web activity from pervasive online trackers, in this instance Facebook.
- Finally, be aware that Firefox 74 disables TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1. Sites which do not support TLS 1.2 will error out when loaded in the browser.
- Fixes some security issues
For more details on this release and its particulars you can pore over the Firefox 74.0 release notes, and dive in to the developer change-log on the Moz Dev blog for additional insight.
