Those interested in the security world will be happy to know that Firefox will no longer accept insecure RC4 ciphers вЂњwhenever possibleвЂќ and that certificates with 1024-bit RSA keys are being phased out. Pinned tiles on the new tab page can now be synced, a minor change that will mainly be celebrated by hardcore Firefox users. Still, it does have some notable additions and improvements.

On the desktop, Firefox 36 is not a major feature-filled release by any stretch. It is the first new version of the HTTP protocol since HTTP 1.1, which was standardized back in June 1999.

HTTP/2, the second major version of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and the biggest update in years, was finalized earlier this month. Over the years, it has become dated, and there have been many initiatives to speed it up. HTTP is an application protocol that forms the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web. These will be removed вЂњsometime in the near future.вЂќ Mozilla plans to keep various draft levels of HTTP/2, already in Firefox, for a few versions. The biggest news for the browser is undoubtedly HTTP/2 support, the roadmap for which Mozilla outlined just last week. In other words, itвЂ™s a major platform that web developers target - even in a world increasingly dominated by mobile apps. Mozilla doesnвЂ™t break out the exact numbers for Firefox, though the company does say вЂњhalf a billion people around the worldвЂќ use the browser.
