Une nouvelle mouture du navigateur Firefox vient de sortir en version stable ainsi qu'en version ESR (support à long terme) destinée à remplacer l'ancienne 52.0 supportant les anciennes extensions.
Cette version 60.0 apporte le support de l'authentification sécurisée par clé USB, l'activation du nouveau moteur CSS dans l'interface elle-même du navigateur pour de meilleure performances. Pour les entreprises, Firefox apporte le support de l'éditeur de stratégie de groupe (GPEdit) afin de personnaliser le navigateur avant déploiement sur parc informatique.
