  • Firefox 51, now in Beta, ships to release on January 24th and will include some nice improvements. First is a feature that will warn users when they're on pages that submit passwords insecurely. . Second, WebGL 2 ships with 51! Firefox for android will be shipping various security fixes.
  • Firefox 52, now in Dev Edition / Aurora, releases on March 9th and should include captive portal detection, our first OS X sandbox, multi-process enabled for Windows touchscreens, WebAssembly and CSS Grid support! Android Firefox will be seeing improvements to Sync and a 5+mb reduction in APK size.
    • Firefox 52 will also see us transition our Windows XP and Vista users over to our Extended Support Release.
    • Finally, with 52, Firefox will stop supporting all NPAPI plug-ins except Flash.
  • Firefox 53, the nightly channel, ships to release on April 18th and will hopefully include a new site permission interface, E10s multi, the compositor process, and an installer update that will help 64-bit windows users get the 64-bit Firefox version.
