Mozilla recently confirmed that it will pay special attention to completing Firefox so that this long-standing browser platform can compete with Chrome more effectively. To reinforce this view, Mozilla has just released an additional update for Firefox (Firefox 67), which promises to significantly improve the performance of this browser, in which the ability to process information and features especially page loading speed will be one of the factors that are of top concern. Mozilla said it is scrutinizing a number of aspects that can help the browser speed up and load web pages faster. This means that scripts dedicated to Instagram, Amazon and Google will most likely have faster download speeds of 40% to 80%, and things like auto-fill modules will not load. unless there is a real form on the page.

Besides these changes, Mozilla is also designing for Firefox to automatically recognize and pause 'idle' tabs in Firefox if you have less than 400MB of RAM on your system. This feature will greatly improve the performance of multiple tab processing on systems that do not own much RAM, on the other hand unused tabs will be suspended until users click on them again. Besides, Firefox will now only require a first and only start-up for those who have installed the add-on, which saves considerable time. 'This setting allows the browser to skip a series of unnecessary tasks during the boot process at the next time,' explained Marissa Wood, Firefox product management vice president.

In addition to the changes that could help Firefox better compete with Chrome, Mozilla is also working to improve privacy controls and protections in Firefox with the release of the 67th update. From now on, you can block encryption scripts that try to use the system CPU to serve unwanted purposes, such as electronic money digging. In addition, digital fingerprints (Digital fingerprints) can also be blocked to prevent stealth ads from tracking when you are online.
