Then there are the developer features, including Conical CSS gradients, overflow debugging in the Developer Tools’ HTML pane, WebRender across more platforms (Windows 7, Windows 8, and macOS 10.12 to 10.15), and pinch to zoom on desktop (Windows laptop touchscreens, Windows laptop touchpads, and macOS laptop touchpads).

Firefox 83 changelogįirefox 83 also brings performance improvements (improved page load performance by up to 15%, page responsiveness by up to 12%, and reduced memory usage by up to 8%). As a result, they may malfunction or not look right in this mode (you can temporarily disable HTTPS-Only Mode for a given site by clicking the lock icon in the address bar). The main obstacle preventing Mozilla from doing so now is that some HTTPS websites still serve resources such as images or videos over HTTP. Whether you click on an HTTP link or manually enter an HTTP address, Firefox in this mode will use HTTPS instead:įirefox could soon enable HTTPS-Only Mode by default. The HTTPS-Only Mode ensures that Firefox doesn’t make any insecure connections without your permission. Mozilla is trying to push Firefox users to always use HTTPS. Additionally, the web contains millions of legacy HTTP links that point to insecure versions of websites. While the majority of websites already support HTTPS, many often fall back to using the insecure and outdated HTTP protocol.

Additionally, users can be more confident they are communicating with the correct website. Data like passwords, credit card numbers, and other sensitive information is kept secure from third parties. Secure connections are a necessary measure to decrease content injection (which can result in eavesdropping, man-in-the-middle attacks, and other data modification). HTTPS is a more secure version of the HTTP internet protocol used to connect users to websites. To enable HTTPS-Only Mode, click on Firefox’s menu button, hit Preferences, then Privacy & Security, scroll down to HTTPS-Only Mode, and choose “Enable HTTPS-Only Mode in all windows.” If it can’t, Firefox asks for your permission before connecting to a website that doesn’t support secure connections. Firefox 83’s highlight feature is HTTPS-Only Mode, in which the browser attempts to establish fully secure connections to every website (just like the EFF’s HTTPS Everywhere).
