Une nouvelle version du navigateur Firefox vient de sortir. Contrairement à la version précédente, cette version 55.0 apporte une avalanche de nouveautés à commencer par une restauration de sessions (en cas de crash) beaucoup plus rapide si vous aviez des dizaines d'onglets ouverts, une nouvelle page des Préférences/Options, la possibilité de faire des captures d'écrans d'une partie ou d'une page entière, l'introduction de WebVR, etc...
