According to the release notes of the upcoming Firefox 52 already on the Beta channel for testers and web developers, it looks like the new browser will update Firefox Sync technology to allow us to send our open tabs from one device to another. As an added feature of the upcoming Firefox, it will also apply more stringent security specifications to Cookies.
"The Strict Secure Cookies feature will prevent insecure (http) pages from sending cookies as secure, and in some cases, prevent an insecure site from sending cookies with the same name as an existing "secure" cookie from the same Strict Secure base Cookies,” the foundation says Mozilla.
In addition to the usual security improvements that will be brought by the upcoming Firefox 52 browser that will also be released in version ESR will also improve the download experience by showing users notifications when a download fails, have larger buttons for restarting or canceling a download, and access to the five most recent downloads, rather than the three we've known so far.
Among other security-related changes, Firefox 52 promises to reduce downloading fingerprinting of users from trackers by removing Battery Status API and deprecating Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface (NPAPI) στην υποστήριξη για plugins όπως το Silverlight by Microsoft, Java by Oracle, and Acrobat by Adobe, which will no longer be supported.
For web developers, Firefox 52 will have support for CSS Grid Layout, redesign of the Responsive Design Mode, as well as display preview for screen sharing, which will no longer require a list of allowed domains.
