HTTP/2 for Firefox is currently under development.
HTTP/2 for Firefox is currently under development.


This page contains a link to the most recent build with internet-draft level support for it. HTTP/2 is not available yet on any of the normal distribution channels (e.g. release, beta, aurora, nightly). Builds here are provided for the purpose of enhancing interop with other implementations and gaining experience with the protocol to inform its standardization - this space will change rapidly.
HTTP/2 draft support is included in routine builds of firefox, enabled by default in firefox 34 and later. <b>To get the most up to date support you should use the nightly channel</b>.


The current implementation is of draft-07 and compression-04.
The current implementation is of draft-14 with compression-09 [august 6 nightly]

Firefox will only be implementing HTTP/2 over TLS - and so far that means for https:// schemed URLs (see below for http:// with TLS support). It does enforce the protocol's >= TLS 1.2 requirement - if a server negotiates HTTP/2 with a lower TLS version it is treated as a protocol error. (there is a preference for changing that for testing purposes if you need it.)

If you wish to test with draft-08 and compression-04 instead (same code as -07, different *PN identifiers), you can download builds at http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/try-builds/hurley@mozilla.com-79063d5e5c67
There is a separate, more experimental, build available that supports HTTP/2 draft-12 for http:// URIs using Alternate-Services (-01) and the "h2-12" profile. Sometimes this is known as opportunistic encryption. This allows HTTP/2 over TLS for http:// URIs in some cases without verification of the SSL certificate. It also allows spdy/3 and spdy/3.1 for http:// URIs using the same mechanism.


Firefox will only be implementing HTTP/2 over TLS - and right now that means for https:// schemed URLs. It does enforce the protocol's >= TLS 1.1 requirement - if a server negotiates HTTP/2 with a lower TLS version it is treated as a protocol error.
