Firefox developers decided to add it immediately.īesides these changes, the RC4 encryption for web site certificates will cause a warning about the connection being insecure.

This compression algorithm was made by Google. To avoid this, web developers are recommended to use the secure HTTPS protocol whenever necessary to receive user authentication data.Īnother surprise addition in Firefox 44 is the Brotli compression algorithm. The browser will show with an icon in the address bar that the connection is not secure. The reason Mozilla made this change is because the user input can be captured by a third party if the connection is not HTTPS. A notification will be triggered for pages which contain the special HTML field, ''. This new option is located on the Content page of preferences:įirefox 44 will consider web forms which require entering the login and password over an unencrypted HTTP connection as insecure. You don't need to see notifications while doing activities like writing a blog post, or making an online payment or anything else that requires your full attention. This is a very good option for those who want to focus on one particular task in the browser without getting disturbed. Starting with Firefox 44, you can turn on Do not disturb mode, which will suppress browser notifications.

For H.264, the installed decoder is required. Mozilla decided to keep this flag until Firefox 46.Īnother new addition is VP9 and H.264 codec support. Probably, the most notable change for users who care about the add-ons signature being enforced in the future is the option in about:config still being retained.
